Tango: Added Append Mode option (only start a new map after being localized, default true) and the old map is still shown for convenience until localization. Increased minInliers to 25. Increased ICP correspondenceRatio to 0.5. Decreased time to open a database. Saving doesn't close the database anymore and overwrite only if we save with the same name. Removed ICP refining from standard optimization.
Added Feature2D::generateKeypoints3D() for convenience.
Added parameter "Vis/PnPOpenCV2".
Added parameter "Vis/ForwardEstOnly".
Removed OdometryOpticalFlow class, replaced by OdometryF2F (frame-to-frame). To get the same previous OpticalFLow approach, parameter "Vis/CorType" should be set to 1.
Some parameters under group "OdomFlow/..." are now under "Vis/CorFlow...".
In Registration class, add computeTransformationMod() method to modify input signatures.
Added constructor Signature(SensorData) for convenience.
Modified words multimap used with cv::Point3f instead of pcl::PointXYZ to limit the use of PCL headers where they are not really required.
Added Stereo::create() for convenience.
Transform: fixed quaternion constructor where data_ was not initialized. Added parentheses operator for convenience.
DatabaseViewer: loading .rtabmap/rtabmap.ini instead of .rtabmap/dbViewer.ini when used from rtabmap application. Added vertical layout option for convenience.
MainWindow: fixed wrong Odometry speed values
ParametersToolBox: using QStackedWidget instead of a QToolBox for space, added "Restore Defaults" button.
-Added parameter "Mem/ReduceGraph" with new link type (NeighborMerged)
-DatabaseViewer: add Info panel, fixed empty extracted database when "RGB images" is not checked
-ConsoleWidget: added buffer size and refresh rate options
-DBDriver: new database info getters
-Graph: added reduceGraph() method, added Dijsktra computePath() with links only
-Updated default parameters: RGBD/LocalLoopDetectionSpace=true, RGBD/LinearUpdate=0.1 and RGBD/AngularUpdate=0.1
-Goals are saved with label instead of ID if the target node has a label
-DataRecorder: fixed saving incrementally the database (instead of only at the end)
-MainWindow: When waypoints are used, resend the current goal (1 sec delay) if it has failed setting it
Added Rtabmap::clearPath(), Rtabmap::computePath(), Rtabmap::getPathGoalId() and Rtabmap::updateGoalIndex() methods.
Added virtual links when path retrieval is activated (virtual links are not saved to database and removed when the path goal is reached).
New parameters: RGBD/GoalReachedRadius and RGBD/MaxAnticipatedNodes
Refactored how loop closure hypotheses are selected (fixed ratio between consecutive hypotheses, not the last loop closure).
Updated getNodesInRadius() to use all filtered scans.
GUI: window can be saved/loaded maximized
GUI: saving Graph View parameters to config.ini
Libraries are installed in lib directly with symbolic links, not in lib/rtabmap-0.8. Removed the need of RPATH in cmake.
Saving variance of each link in database (new field Link.variance). The variance is used to generate the constraint information matrices for TORO optimization.
ICP: computing variance instead of fitness.
ICP3: added correspondences ratio parameter
Added OdometryInfo class
Refactoring: renamed depth2d stuff to laserScan. rtabmap::Memory and rtabmap::Signature classes (no more distinct neighbor, loop closure or child loop closure links, only links with different types)
Map transform is only defined with the last loop closure for localization mode: on loop closure between two maps, there is only a TORO link added between the locations (no need to keep the transform between the maps)
