ORB-SLAM2 is a real-time SLAM library for Monocular, Stereo and RGB-D cameras that computes the camera trajectory and a sparse 3D reconstruction (in the stereo and RGB-D case with true scale). It is able to detect loops and relocalize the camera in real time. We provide examples to run the SLAM system in the KITTI dataset as stereo or monocular, in the TUM dataset as RGB-D or monocular, and in the EuRoC dataset as stereo or monocular. We also provide a ROS node to process live monocular, stereo or RGB-D streams. The library can be compiled without ROS. ORB-SLAM2 provides a GUI to change between a SLAM Mode and Localization Mode, see section 9 of this document.

We have tested the library in Ubuntu 12.04, 14.04 and 16.04, but it should be easy to compile in other platforms. A powerful computer (e.g. i7) will ensure real-time performance and provide more stable and accurate results.
We use the new thread and chrono functionalities of C++11.
We use Pangolin for visualization and user interface. Dowload and install instructions can be found at: https://github.com/stevenlovegrove/Pangolin.
We use OpenCV to manipulate images and features. Dowload and install instructions can be found at: http://opencv.org. Required at leat 2.4.3. Tested with OpenCV 2.4.11, OpenCV 2.4.13 and OpenCV 3.2.
Required by g2o (see below). Download and install instructions can be found at: http://eigen.tuxfamily.org. Required at least 3.1.0.
We use modified versions of the DBoW2 library to perform place recognition and g2o library to perform non-linear optimizations. Both modified libraries (which are BSD) are included in the Thirdparty folder.
We provide some examples to process the live input of a monocular, stereo or RGB-D camera using ROS. Building these examples is optional. In case you want to use ROS, a version Hydro or newer is needed.
Map save/load feature needs boost library and more specifically thelibboost_serialization library.
See section 11
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/JiankaiSun-SJTU-MVIG-training/ORB_SLAM2_Enhanced.git ORB_SLAM2
We provide a script build.sh to build the Thirdparty libraries and ORB-SLAM2. Please make sure you have installed all required dependencies (see section 2). Execute:
cd ORB_SLAM2

For a monocular input from topic /camera/image_raw run node ORB_SLAM2/Mono. You will need to provide the vocabulary file and a settings file. See the monocular examples above.
rosrun ORB_SLAM2 Mono PATH_TO_VOCABULARY PATH_TO_SETTINGS_FILE
This is a demo of augmented reality where you can use an interface to insert virtual cubes in planar regions of the scene.
The node reads images from topic /camera/image_raw.
rosrun ORB_SLAM2 MonoAR PATH_TO_VOCABULARY PATH_TO_SETTINGS_FILE
For a stereo input from topic /camera/left/image_raw and /camera/right/image_raw run node ORB_SLAM2/Stereo. You will need to provide the vocabulary file and a settings file. If you provide rectification matrices (see Examples/Stereo/EuRoC.yaml example), the node will recitify the images online, otherwise images must be pre-rectified.
rosrun ORB_SLAM2 Stereo PATH_TO_VOCABULARY PATH_TO_SETTINGS_FILE ONLINE_RECTIFICATION
Example: Download a rosbag (e.g. V1_01_easy.bag) from the EuRoC dataset (http://projects.asl.ethz.ch/datasets/doku.php?id=kmavvisualinertialdatasets). Open 3 tabs on the terminal and run the following command at each tab:
roscore
rosrun ORB_SLAM2 Stereo Vocabulary/ORBvoc.txt Examples/Stereo/EuRoC.yaml true
rosbag play --pause V1_01_easy.bag /cam0/image_raw:=/camera/left/image_raw /cam1/image_raw:=/camera/right/image_raw
Once ORB-SLAM2 has loaded the vocabulary, press space in the rosbag tab. Enjoy!. Note: a powerful computer is required to run the most exigent sequences of this dataset.
For an RGB-D input from topics /camera/rgb/image_raw and /camera/depth_registered/image_raw, run node ORB_SLAM2/RGBD. You will need to provide the vocabulary file and a settings file. See the RGB-D example above.
rosrun ORB_SLAM2 RGBD PATH_TO_VOCABULARY PATH_TO_SETTINGS_FILE
You will need to create a settings file with the calibration of your camera. See the settings file provided for the TUM and KITTI datasets for monocular, stereo and RGB-D cameras. We use the calibration model of OpenCV. See the examples to learn how to create a program that makes use of the ORB-SLAM2 library and how to pass images to the SLAM system. Stereo input must be synchronized and rectified. RGB-D input must be synchronized and depth registered.
You can change between the SLAM and Localization mode using the GUI of the map viewer.
This is the default mode. The system runs in parallal three threads: Tracking, Local Mapping and Loop Closing. The system localizes the camera, builds new map and tries to close loops.
This mode can be used when you have a good map of your working area. In this mode the Local Mapping and Loop Closing are deactivated. The system localizes the camera in the map (which is no longer updated), using relocalization if needed.
You can load ORB vocabulary in either text or binary format. The format is determined by suffix(.txt for text format and .bin for binary format).
build.sh will generate a text-to-binary convertor bin_vocabulary in Vocabulary/ . You can also find it as a target in CMakeLists.txt.
bin_vocabulary will convert ./ORBvoc.txt to ./ORBvoc.bin and you can use the new ORBvoc.bin as PATH_TO_VOCABULARY wherever needed.
PS: binary format is loaded faster and text format is more human-readable.
You can enable this feature by defining a new variable USE_MAP_SAVE_LOAD when running cmake.
For example, you can change cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release to cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DUSE_MAP_SAVE_LOAD=1 after echo "Configuring and building ORB_SLAM2 ..." in build.sh.
But CMakeCache.txt should be deleted if you want to undefine this variable.
This feature is integrated with class System. The path of mapfile can be set by adding Map.mapfile: map.bin to ORB_SLAM2's settings file. See the last few line of Example/Monocular/TUM1.xml.
To save a map, you need construct ORB_SLAM2::System with the last parameter be true. Then the System will save map to mapfile specified in setting file when ShutDown.
With a readable mapfile, map will be loaded automatically and System will run in localization mode, but you can change it to SLAM mode later.
If you set a mapfile but it doesn't exist, System will create new map.
mono_tum has been updated as a simple example of this functionality. An extra command line parameter(0 or 1) should be given to indicate whether you want to save map or not.
I use boost_serialization library to serialize Map, MapPoint, KeyFrame,KeyFrameDatabase, cv::Mat, DBoW2::BowVector, DBoW2::FeatureVector. In brief, only the ORBVector isn't serialized.
This feature is tested with boost 1.64 and it works fine mostly. There is still some occasional segmentfault to dig in.
