Online SLAM using VLP-16 LiDAR

Open ekow-mensah opened this issue 6 years ago • 3 comments

Hi all, I am trying to implement online 3D SLAM using the VLP-16 LiDAR how to I do this with LOAM without having to use rosbags or pcap files?

It should also work with live data, as it just subscribes to the same topic as it does when using rosbags. All you need to do is publish your point cloud as a rod topic. A tutorial for doing so can be found here: http://wiki.ros.org/velodyne
