hi, i am new in rtabmap and have a question . can i use the demo_turtlebot_mapping.launch for turtlebot in simulation (Gazebo) by use of stereo images?


Edit: hi matlabbe i change launch file according to your answer but the launch file have two error

<launch>

Yes, but to keep fake laser scans like on turtlebot, you would need to use stereo_img_proc and disparity_to_depth to create a depth image (similar to this setup), so that you can use your stereo camera like a rgb-d camera (use rgb/depth inputs of rtabmap) and create the fake laser scan from it. Beware that to get a dense disparity image, a lot of texture is required in the simulated environment. You may want to simulate a RGB-D camera directly in the simulator instead.

EDIT: As stated in the warning, make sure these topics are published:

$ rostopic hz /stereo_camera/left/image_rect
$ rostopic hz /stereo_camera/depth
$ rostopic hz /stereo_camera/left/camera_info
$ rostopic hz /scan

hi matlabbe all topics are in launch file are published. but i don't know what is problem?

Do they have different fps?

matlabbe gravatar image matlabbe  ( 2017-12-02 11:26:32 -0600 )edit

how to check fps?

i used but error is not solve!

finally, i can create grid map. but the map is not good. for create good map which parameters must be changed?

this is my map, but is not good!!image description
