SLAM with depth camera (no rgb)
Does ROS already provides a package for doing SLAM only with the data coming for a depth camera, without the rgb data (for instance, this is the case of many ToF cameras) ? Some methods to do this, based on ICP, are listed here: 3D pose estimation and mapping with time-of-flight cameras
It uses depth and intensity data with ICP and SIFTand KLT for feature detection
Hey there, did you finally find an answer to your question? i have the same kind of question here: http://answers.ros.org/question/21984...
yes, it is possible since many sensor provide a 1 channel intensity output. Using this you can use package such as ccny_rgbd. I will expand the answer tomorrow
