So I am using rtabmap and a ZED stereo for this project based o, 3D mapping. I have the following launch file, I tried to play with with it but no mapping :

<launch>

<arg name="rviz" default="false" />
   <arg name="rtabmapviz" default="true" />
   <arg name="local_bundle" default="true" />
   <arg name="stereo_sync" default="false" />

   <param name="use_sim_time" type="bool" value="True"/>

   <!-- Just to uncompress images for stereo_image_rect -->
   <node name="republish_left"  type="republish" pkg="image_transport" args="compressed in:=/left/image_raw_color out:=/stereo_camera/left/image_raw_throttle_relay" />
   <node name="republish_right" type="republish" pkg="image_transport" args="compressed in:=/right/image_raw_color raw out:=/stereo_camera/right/image_raw_throttle_relay" />

   <!-- Run the ROS package stereo_image_proc for image rectification -->

      <node pkg="stereo_image_proc" type="stereo_image_proc" name="stereo_image_proc">

I suggest that you try this tutorial following zed related instructions to see a working example. You can also try this zed launch file to start both zed and rtabmap at the same time:

$ roslaunch zed_rtabmap_example zed_rtabmap.launch

cheers,
Mathieu
