interactive_slam is an open source 3D LIDAR-based mapping framework. In contrast to existing automatic SLAM packages, we aim to develop a semi-automatic framework which allows the user to interactively and intuitively correct mapping failures (e.g., corrupted odometry, wrong loop detection, distorted map, etc) with minimum effort. This framework provides several map correction features:
- [Manual & Automatic] Loop closing
- [Manual] Plane-based map correction
- [Manual] Multiple map merging
- [Automatic] Pose edge refinement
This package is built on top of the ROS ecosystem. You can start building a map with a pose graph constructed by hdl_graph_slam or odometry data generated by any ROS packages, such as LeGO-LOAM. If you are interested in a ROS-independent cross platform version (Ubuntu/Windows), see here.
We are looking forward to hearing your feedback and additional feature requests on this package. Requested features which are publicly useful would appear in the future version. Send your feedback
This package has been tested on Ubuntu 18.04 & ROS melodic.
interactive_slam depends on the following libraries:
# for ROS melodic
sudo apt-get install libglm-dev libglfw3-dev
sudo apt-get install ros-melodic-geodesy ros-melodic-pcl-ros ros-melodic-nmea-msgs ros-melodic-libg2ocd ~/catkin_ws/src
git clone https://github.com/koide3/ndt_omp
git clone https://github.com/koide3/hdl_graph_slam
git clone https://github.com/koide3/odometry_saver
git clone https://github.com/SMRT-AIST/interactive_slam --recursive
cd ~/catkin_ws
catkin_make -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=ReleaseROS Kinetic users
This package cannot be built using gcc and ld on Ubuntu 16. If you are on Ubuntu 16 and ROS kinetic, try LLVM toolchain. Note: we recommend to use this package on melodic since we do only build-test but not run-test on kinetic.
sudo apt install clang-6.0 lld-6.0
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/ld ld /usr/bin/ld.lld-6.0 50
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/clang clang /usr/bin/clang-6.0 50
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/clang++ clang++ /usr/bin/clang++-6.0 50
cd ~/catkin_ws && rm -rf build devel # be aware of that this command removes build and devel directories
CC=clang CXX=clang++ catkin_make -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=ReleaseIn this example, we edit a map (pose graph) constructed by hdl_graph_slam. See more.
In this example, we create a map with odometry data generated from a rosbag file using LeGO-LOAM. See more.
In this example, we correct a warped map with plane constraints and merge it with another map. See more.
You can feed graph/odometry files generated by your program to interactive_slam. See more
