Sorry, as a beginner, I don't really get what you meant by scenario and features.. If you are referring to the area that I'm suppose to map, it is a classroom. As for the IMU I'm given CH Robotics UM6 IMU.

Regarding the filtering of point cloud, may I know where can I learn to use it?

Hi and thanks for the advise. Previously I manage to use http://www.hessmer.org/blog/2011/04/10/2d-slam-with-ros-and-kinect/ and made it work with a ground robot, but this time I am not given a robot, only a Kinect and possibly an IMU. I will try using RGBDSLAM again, while speeding it up.

Thanks for the advice. Previously I tried using the RGB-D-SLAM, however the CPU requirements is too high for the PC104 that is given by the school for this project.Will an IMU stablize the mapping so that it would not drift out too much?

Hi all. I'm currently doing a project in school regarding 2D mapping. I'm given a Kinect only. After some trying, I'm able to get a map out of it, using hector_slam and fake_laser codes. However, with any fast movement ( actually not that fast ), the map will just be totally ruined. Moreover, even if the kinect is stationary, it will appear to be vibrating. During the process of mapping, it is also very prone to drifting which caused distortion to the map. May someone please tell me how can I improve on this, will an IMU improve the process of mapping? My task is to do something similar to this : link, but using a Kinect instead. Help and guidance will be extremely appreciated as this project is very important to me.
