ORB-SLAM3 ROS 运行

环境为：ROS Melodic 和 Ubuntu 18.04

编译

1、将源码中的 Examples/ROS/ORB_SLAM3 路径添加到ROS_PACKAGE_PATH环境变量中
打开 .bashrc file：

gedit ~/.bashrc

把下面这行加到最下面一行，把“PATH”换成你放ORB_SLAM3的路径

export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=${ROS_PACKAGE_PATH}:“PATH”/ORB_SLAM3/Examples/ROS

2、执行ORB-SLAM3中打开终端，执行 build_ros.sh 文件

chmod +x build_ros.sh
./build_ros.sh

此处碰到第一个问题：会报一个类似如下的错误（我忘记截图了用了别人的例子，大差不差）

解决方法也很简单，大概就是 /ros/melodic/share 这个路径没有ORB_SLAM3的软连接，在命令行输入以下代码即可(“PATH”同上，Ubuntu18.04是melodic，16.04应该是kinetic)原贴连接

sudo ln -s "PATH"/ORB_SLAM3/Examples/ROS/ORB_SLAM3 /opt/ros/melodic/share/ORB_SLAM3

运行

去 EuRoC dataset 下载一个.bag文件，在ORB_SLAM文件夹打开终端，输入下面三行命令

roscore

rosrun ORB_SLAM3 Stereo_Inertial Vocabulary/ORBvoc.txt Examples/Stereo-Inertial/EuRoC.yaml true

rosbag play --pause “V1_02_medium.bag” /cam0/image_raw:=/camera/left/image_raw /cam1/image_raw:=/camera/right/image_raw /imu0:=/imu

其中第三行“V1_02_medium.bag”就是你下的文件的名字，第三行代码运行之后记得按下空格键开始播放bag文件
如果下载的是TUM数据，需要对数据进行一些处理，如下

rosrun rosbag fastrebag.py dataset-room1_512_16.bag dataset-room1_512_16_small_chunks.bag

最终运行结果
