3.changes

nano /home/rock/ORB_SLAM2/include/ORBextractor.h
    //#include <opencv/cv.h>
      #include <opencv2/opencv.hpp>

4. add #include <unistd.h> to files: /ORB_SLAM2/src/LoopClosing.cc /ORB_SLAM2/src/System.cc /ORB_SLAM2/src/Tracking.cc /ORB_SLAM2/src/LocalMapping.cc /ORB_SLAM2/src/Viewer.cc

5. add #include <opencv2/opencv.hpp> to /ORB_SLAM2/src/FrameDrawer.cc

6. add

#include <opencv2/imgproc/types_c.h>
#include <opencv2/opencv.hpp>
using namespace cv;

to: /ORB_SLAM2/include/System.h /ORB_SLAM2/include/PnPsolver.h

8. fix ORB_SLAM2/include/LoopClosing.h : before: Eigen::aligned_allocator<std::pair<const KeyFrame*, g2o::Sim3> > > KeyFrameAndPose; after: Eigen::aligned_allocator<std::pair<KeyFrame* const, g2o::Sim3> > > KeyFrameAndPose;

9. add

#include <unistd.h>
#include <opencv2/imgproc/types_c.h>
#include <opencv2/opencv.hpp>
using namespace cv;

and change CV_LOAD_IMAGE_UNCHANGED to IMREAD_UNCHANGED (should looks like - imRGB = cv::imread(string(argv[3])+"/"+vstrImageFilenamesRGB[ni],IMREAD_UNCHANGED);

in files: nano /home/rock/ORB_SLAM2/Examples/RGB-D/rgbd_tum.cc /ORB_SLAM2/Examples/Stereo/stereo_kitti.cc /ORB_SLAM2/Examples/Stereo/stereo_kitti.cc /ORB_SLAM2/Examples/Stereo/stereo_euroc.cc /ORB_SLAM2/Examples/Monocular/mono_tum.cc /ORB_SLAM2/Examples/Monocular/mono_kitti.cc /ORB_SLAM2/Examples/Monocular/mono_euroc.cc
