Hey Mathieu,

I have just started to do some research in stereo slam and found your work is an excellent starting point for me. Thank you very much.

I have checked out the indigo-devel branch and built the standalone program with visual studio 2012. Now I can run the main program RTAB-map.

But I met 2 issues:

Issue 1: Some warning messages appears when the program was running. These warnings do not crash the program. But I am not so sure if I have built the system correctly.

Generic Warning: In ..\..\..\Rendering\Core\vtkPolyDataMapper.cxx, line 28
Error: no override found for 'vtkPolyDataMapper'.

Warning: In ..\..\..\Rendering\Core\vtkInteractorStyleSwitchBase.cxx, line 43
vtkInteractorStyleSwitchBase (172EDDD0): Warning: Link to vtkInteractionStyle for default style selection.

ERROR: In ..\..\..\Rendering\OpenGL\vtkOpenGLTexture.cxx, line 200
vtkOpenGLTexture (153E6CF8): No scalar values found for texture input!

Issue 2: I can't repeat your stereo mapping example.

The "start" button is always disabled (in grey) when I tried the database (stereo_20Hz.db) based method and changed the settings in "preference".

When I open the db from main menu, it seems like the program only plays the db, tries to detect closure but does not build the map.

Could you give me some suggestion about how to solve these issues? Thanks a lot.

Best regards
Yanming
