The stack contains tools for visual odometry and mapping using RGB-D cameras.

For ROS applications built using this library, see ccny_rgbd_tools.

This code is at an experimental stage, and licensed under the GPLv3 license.

If you are using this library as part of ROS, then refer to the ccny_rgbd_tools installation instructions. You do not need to install anything manually.

If you would like to build this library stand-alone, then follow these steps:

If you don't have git installed, do so:

sudo apt-get install git-core

Download the stack from our repository:

git clone https://github.com/ccny-ros-pkg/rgbdtools.git

Install the required dependencies:

• g2o

If you are using ROS, you use the libg2o deb package.

Next, configure and build:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
