OpenVslam implementation?

[ryleymcc]

Do you think OpenVslam could be implemented to use 360 cameras on obstacle detection node? OpenVslam generates pointclouds so I wonder if it's possible to use the rtabmap obstacle detection node with openvslam to send to move_base in real-time? has anyone looked into this?

Hi,

If it outputs a PointCloud2 message, yes, it could be fed to obstacles_detection node: http://wiki.ros.org/rtabmap_ros/Tutorials/StereoOutdoorNavigation#Local_costmap
