How to use pcl (+ cuda modules) with ROS
Hi,
I want to use pcl and openCV with cuda. I know now that I have to install another version of openCV (since the default version of openCV in ROS kinetic does not include cuda modules) and then call catkin_make -DOpenCV_DIR=... to use the new version. But now I have to use cuda with pcl too, and I have seen that there are no cuda modules in the default ROS installation (same as openCV). Do I need to install pcl outside ROS like with openCV? And then how can I use it?
Thank you.
@ahendrix Sorry but don't know why it has to be closed. Since the only thing I want to know is how to use/link pcl with ROS, it is a ROS question. Is it supposed that I have to register all the webs involved to ask any question? If someone wants to answer me, why not to do it here? With all respect.
PCL is installed outside of ROS, and you question is "how do I compile PCL with cuda support?" I don't expect many users on the ROS forums to know that. You're more likely to get a good answer by asking the PCL community directly.
Sorry if my question is not clear but what I want to know is if I have to install a version of pcl that contains cuda and how to use with ROS, how to link it with ROS, etc.(I already know how to install cuda and pcl outside) If I wanted to know how to use it outside ROS I would not write it here.
Sorry; it was unclear from your question that you already know how to build and install PCL with cuda support.
