Is there a package that provides visual odometry aside from vslam? I found visodo but it has a missing/deleted dependency(vop).

We just released our ROS-Wrapper for libviso2, called viso2_ros. It contains nodes for monocular and stereo odometry. Every parameter from libviso2 can be set through ROS. Odometry information is published as nav_msgs/Odometry and geometry_msgs/PoseStamped as well as through a tf for easy visualization through rviz. Have a look at the corresponding ros wiki page for further information.

I strongly encourage the use of viso2_ros. So far, it is the best visual odometry package I have found in ROS.

Stephan, do you think it is possible to add the option replace=true as a ros parameter to set at running time? Is it even possible to set parameters without changing those in the program? If yes in which way? Thanks

I don't believe there is a released package providing that functionality at the moment.

Would this: (http://www.rainsoft.de/software/libviso.html) work with ros? Or is there anybody who had use it with ros perhaps?

Okay ... I have it working, but it is not complete at this point [16 Feb 2012]. I have the mono camera up and running but haven't started on the stereo yet. Feel free to take a look at my github of libviso2. I will improve it over time.

It would be great if you did. To make sure no one else is working on it already it'd be safer to drop a line on pcl-users@code.ros.org and ros-users@code.ros.org.
