Get rid of ROS dependency #169

Open vranki opened 8 years ago

vranki commented 8 years ago

ROS is supported only on some quite old Ubuntu versions. This makes it difficult to build lsd_slam on newer versions. The lsd_slam homepage says:

"However, ROS is only used for input (video), output (pointcloud & poses) and parameter handling; ROS-dependent code is tightly wrapped and can easily be replaced. "

I'd suggest replacing ROS with some widely available cross-platform library such as Qt. Qt supports video input (http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/cameraoverview.html) and other requirements. If possible, design the interfaces so that multiple alternatives can be supported.

Actually ROS is supported on all versions of Ubuntu since 2010, including support for LTS12.04 (through Groovy), LTS14.04 (through indigo) and the latest, 15.04, through Jade. ROS are also having annual major releases.

That being said, I don't enjoy ROS either, but I understand the choice. Qt is just a library, while ros is a toolkit

How big an under-taking would this be? I'm quite interested in a ROS-free version.

sharder-dev commented 8 years ago

LSD-SLAM only depends on ROS for the communication (cam<->lsdslam, lsdslam<->visualizer). If you don't care about the visualization, all you have to do is to write your own class for reading from images/video files (implementing lsd_slam::InputImageStream). There are also some forks that are usable under windows and they don't use ROS.

@nickponline I have successfully run a ROS-free version lsd-slam on my mac xcode. It uses a light-weight and open source framework Pangolin for visualisation. You can check it out here.

Hi Seryogah! I want to know how to run LSD_SLAM on windows,can you help me ? many thanks

@LiangliangGuo I know that I am late(pretty late) to the party but maybe this could help : https://github.com/williammc/lsd_slam I haven't run it though. I am trying to get LSD-SLAM to run from a live videostream on Ubuntu 17.10 and just came across the above repo. These are the repos I found for Linux, but I am facing some error or the other with each of them : https://github.com/jserv/lsd_slam (Error I am facing : https://github.com/jserv/lsd_slam/issues/7) https://github.com/aivijay/lsd_slam_noros https://github.com/mp3guy/lsd_slam (Facing similar error as the above)

In the https://github.com/aivijay/lsd_slam_noros repo, on running sudo make in the terminal, I recieve the following error:

See also "/home/username/Downloads/lsd_slam_noros-master/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log". ` I have all the dependencies mentioned in the readme installed on my system. I haven't installed ROS as I want to run LSD-SLAM on a live videostream without the ROS dependencies.

Also there is a repo focused on the GUI, if I was able gather correctly from its readme. https://github.com/amarburg/lsd-slam-pangolin-gui

@ningt Since, you have been successfully able to run LSD-SLAM without the ROS dependency, do you have some suggestions? I realize that the OS is different but I saw that you too had gone to jserv's repo, so I thought that you may have faced similar issues. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a 64-bit laptop running Ubuntu 17.10.
