pointcloud_to_laserscan on dataset not with kinect
Hello everyone, I am a newbie here and I was trying to use some visual slam, RGBD slam and all such things until I have seen this pointcloud_to_laserscan. Now that, I want to see how good it is (by seeing the maps it produces and from odometry data computed from the laserscans) by testing it on the kinect datasets may be because I dont have kinect right now. So, is there a way to do it with this pointcloud_laserscan package. [Note: I am a complete newbie here so many things are pretty unclear to me at present, so I would appreciate if you can help me more elaborately.] Thank you. Vihari.
