Hi, I guess if you want some help, you should be a little more specific on what you want to achieve.

Thanks ffurrer

I'm planning to use the ptam with downward looking camera. I will detect obsticals on the ground and build a 2d map for the turtlebot. I'm using parrot 2 on ubunto 14.04 RoS indigo. In the ardrone driver.CPP I have changed the transform of forward camera (HD) to that of downward camera (qvga).

Do in need to tell ptam of this rotation of camera and how can I do that?

Thanks
