rtabmap_ros
===========
RTAB-Map's ROS package.
For more information, demos and tutorials about this package, visit the [rtabmap_ros](http://wiki.ros.org/rtabmap_ros) page on the ROS wiki.
For the RTAB-Map libraries and standalone application, visit the [RTAB-Map's home page](http://introlab.github.io/rtabmap) or the [RTAB-Map's wiki](https://github.com/introlab/rtabmap/wiki).
## Installation
### ROS distribution
RTAB-Map is released as binaries in the ROS distribution.
* Indigo
```
$ sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-rtabmap-ros
```
* Hydro
```
$ sudo apt-get install ros-hydro-rtabmap-ros
```
**Note for Hydro: there are some issues on the actual version released (0.7.3) on ROS, visit [issues](https://github.com/introlab/rtabmap_ros/issues).**
### Build from source
This section shows how to install RTAB-Map ros-pkg on **ROS Hydro** (Catkin build). RTAB-Map works only with the PCL 1.7, which is the default version installed with ROS Hydro (**Fuerte and Groovy are not supported**).
* **Note for ROS Indigo**: If you want SURF/SIFT, you have to build OpenCV from source to have access to **nonfree module**. See [issue 8](https://code.google.com/p/rtabmap/issues/detail?id=8&can=1) for more details.
* The next instructions assume that you have setup your ROS workspace using this [tutorial](http://wiki.ros.org/catkin/Tutorials/create_a_workspace). The workspace path is `~/catkin_ws` and your `~/.bashrc` contains:
```
source /opt/ros/hydro/setup.bash
source ~/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash
```
1. First, you need to install the RTAB-Map standalone libraries (**don't checkout in the Catkin workspace**).
```
$ git clone https://github.com/introlab/rtabmap.git rtabmap
$ cd rtabmap/build
$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/catkin_ws/devel .. [<---double dots included]
$ make -j4
$ make install
```
2. Now install the RTAB-Map ros-pkg in your src folder of your Catkin workspace.
```
$ cd ~/catkin_ws
$ git clone https://github.com/introlab/rtabmap_ros.git src/rtabmap_ros
$ catkin_make
```
#### Update to new version
```
$ cd rtabmap
$ git pull origin master
$ cd build
$ make
$ make install
$ roscd rtabmap_ros
$ git pull origin master
$ cd ~/catkin_ws
$ catkin_make
```
