THe abillity to run the software without ROS

Open ilisparrow opened this issue 11 months ago • 1 comments

Thank you for your software and making it FOSS.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It would increadibly usefull if we could run this software without having ROS installed. Record the ROS bag on a computer. then process it on another one that doesn't need anyROS nor anything. If I am not mistaken no other software that does that already exists

Describe the solution you'd like A software that can be installed using ept-get or something else. I can help contribute to make it possible.

Thank you very much in advance.

The main estimation algorithms are independent of ROS. So, if you write a small code to read inputs (point cloud and IMU) from a file and feed them to the GLIM modules, then it should work without ROS.

For debian, the package can be installed via PPA. Although I want to provide a more better installation support, I have no bandwidth to work on it for now... I would be glad if you could help improving this part.
