Performing visual odometry with an RGBD camera
Now we are going to see how to perform visual odometry using RGBD cameras using fovis.
Installing fovis
Since fovis is not provided as a Debian package, you must build it in your catkin workspace (use the same workspace as you used for chapter5_tutorials). Proceed with the following commands within any workspace:
