Pretty much answered here: http://answers.ros.org/question/226968/use-of-rtabmap-with-3d-lidars/

RTAB-Map requires at least a camera for loop closure detection. Creating a registered depth image using the laser scans and you are good to go. My only concern is if the drone can power all these sensors and process all their data onboard (in term of power, weight and processing power).
