Hello Mathieu
I would like to export point cloud map every five seconds when the rtabmap is running, could you help me achieve this goal please? Thank you very much.

Hi,

http://wiki.ros.org/pcl_ros#pointcloud_to_pcd could probably be used. Like:

rosrun pcl_ros pointcloud_to_pcd input:=/rtabmap/cloud_map
