Could not get transform from odom to base_link

edit

I'm running rtabmap with an rgb-d sensor and get the following error:

We received odometry message, but we cannot get the corresponding TF odom->base_link at data stamp 1533265358.770186s (odom msg stamp is 1533265358.757750s). Make sure TF of odometry is also published to get more accurate pose estimation. This warning is only printed once.

This is my launch file

<launch>
  <!-- Convenience launch file to launch odometry, rtabmap and rtabmapviz nodes at once -->

  <!-- For stereo:=false
        Your RGB-D sensor should be already started with "depth_registration:=true".
        Examples:
           $ roslaunch freenect_launch freenect.launch depth_registration:=true 
           $ roslaunch openni2_launch openni2.launch depth_registration:=true -->

  <!-- For stereo:=true
        Your camera should be calibrated and publishing rectified left and right
