Hi i am planning to do this demo:https://github.com/introlab/rtab... Below is the launch file , I have written .I am not able to visualise the result in rviz . Error is no transforms is found between the different links , But rosbag already records those transforms right ? I am not sure what i am missing. I am using kitti dataset for the demo

Hi,

I updated this example with a new section to include IMU, gps and ground truth.

In your example, if you want to use /world as odometry, set also visual_odometry:=false. This may be your problem with TF and rviz. If you want to use rtabmap's stereo odometry, follow the new example, there is a script to fix world->base_link TF so that there is no TF conflict with odometry publishing also odom -> base_link.

cheers,
Mathieu

Hi ! changing the visual_odometry:=false didn't work either . I need the occupancy map in rviz Which sadly I am not able to visualises as the nothing is published in related topic.

Can you add the terminal output to your question? There are maybe warnings showing why rtabmap is not running.

Hi sir ! sorry for late response , had been held up . I have updated the question as you have asked !

It is strange, rtabmap node is doing nothing, so it makes you don't have map. Normally, it should show a warning when it cannot synchronize input topics. It tries to synchronize:

/rtabmap/rtabmap subscribed to (approx sync):
   /rtabmap/odom,
   /rtabmap/rgbd_image,
   /scan,
   /rtabmap/odom_info

Is /scan published? What frame rate? Try:

rostopic hz /rtabmap/odom /rtabmap/rgbd_image /scan /rtabmap/odom_info
