Reconstruction.yaml missing from stereo slam package #3

tonystark12 · 2015-08-03T07:15:14Z

I am trying to use a stereo slam package,and by following the instructions, I completed the installation. I am trying to run this slam with drcsim Atlas bot, spawned in a gazebo vrc task environment.

Now, by editing the demo.launch file of the package, I can link the stereo_slam package to subscribe to topics which provide with the stereo pair of images. The edited launch file

    <launch>

<arg name="bagfile" default="/tmp/ROS.bag"/>

<!-- Setup the camera -->
<arg name="camera" default="/multisense_sl/camera/"/>
<param name="/use_sim_time" value="true"/>

<!-- Play the bagfile -->
<node pkg="rosbag" type="play" name="rosbag" args="--clock $(arg bagfile)"/>

<!-- Run the stereo image proc -->
<group ns="$(arg camera)">
    <node pkg="stereo_image_proc" type="stereo_image_proc" name="stereo_image_proc" />
</group>

<!-- Run the visual odometry: You can choose between viso2 and fovis -->
<node pkg="viso2_ros" type="stereo_odometer" name="stereo_odometer">
    <remap from="stereo" to="$(arg camera)"/>
    <remap from="image" to="image_color"/>

</node>

    <param name="cloud_topic" value="$(arg camera)/scaled/points2"/>

    <rosparam file="$(find stereo_slam)/etc/reconstruction.yaml" />

</node>

When executing

    roslaunch stereo_slam demo.launch

I get the following error

    error loading <rosparam> tag: 
file does not exist [/home/tonystark/lib_haloc/src/stereo_slam/etc/reconstruction.yaml]
    XML is <rosparam file="$(find stereo_slam)/etc/reconstruction.yaml"/>
    The traceback for the exception was written to the log file

Upon searching, neither directory /etc nor the file reconstruction.yaml exited. Has anybody made use of this package? If yes, can you please tell me how to solve this? Is it a file and folder I should create by myself? Thanks in advance

Thank you. Have you got this package up and running? I need a bit of help.
Do you mind giving me a hand?

No big deal. :)
As soon as I have it running, I'll let you know.

tonystark12 · 2015-08-11T21:03:52Z

Thank you once again. I was not able to run it at all. I got few more
errors and packages missing. For example, this one :

ERROR: cannot launch node of type [stereo_slam/collector]: can't locate
node [collector] in package [stereo_slam]

Do you have this node?

I am trying to find from the commits, but please let me know if you had
this node while running it. :)

Yes, you are right. This node is missing currently and was part of stereo_slam one year ago (https://github.com/srv/stereo_slam/tree/3dc6cbf6263e56121030af05504a4fd92639eff3/src).

tonystark12 · 2015-08-11T21:54:12Z

Any idea why this is happening? Is it supposed to be a update?

I am using Ros Indigo. I think the commits you showed are from Hydro.

Hey mate. Any help? Just wanted to know if you got somewhere. Check this

so... I have it running without any errors. I am also able to visualize the odometry in rviz. Since I don't have loop-closing data and my images are bigger than 700px ( in width, less is recommended(!) ) I am not able to test the whole algorithm. But I think with the following steps, you can push your progress.

First of all checkout indigo_devel

You will discover that the devel branch doesn't have any launch file and some files are missing (msg, launch) and the CMakeLists.txt is not complete. Let's work on that:

Missing file stereo_crop_decimate.launch

Download stereo_crop_decimate.launch from here.
mkdir -p ~/catkin_ws/src/stereo_slam/launch/modules
copy the launch file inside stereo_slam/launch/modules

Missing messages

You can download them from here
Place them inside /catkin_ws/src/stereo-slam/msg/
Add the following line to your CMakeLists.txt. Just right above the Dependencies section

## Declare ROS messages and services
add_message_files(FILES SlamInfo.msg SlamVertex.msg SlamEdge.msg Correction.msg GraphData.msg)
generate_messages(DEPENDENCIES std_msgs)

Missing Launch File

Copy the following lines and place it in catkin_ws/src/stereo_slam/stereo.launch

<launch>

    <!--Setup Bagfile-->
    <arg name="bagfile" default="/home/user/catkin_ws/bag/stereo.bag"/>

    <!--Setup Camera-->
    <arg name="camera" default="/camera_comp_wide/" />
    <param name="/use_sim_time" value="true"/>

    <!--Play Bagfile-->
    <node pkg="rosbag" type="play" name="rosbag" args="--clock $(arg bagfile)"/>

    <!-- Run the stereo image proc -->
    <node ns="$(arg camera)" pkg="stereo_image_proc" type="stereo_image_proc" name="stereo_image_proc" />

    <include file="$(find stereo_slam)/launch/modules/stereo_crop_decimate.launch" >
        <arg name="stereo" value="$(arg camera)" />
    </include>

    <node ns="$(arg camera)/scaled" pkg="stereo_image_proc" type="stereo_image_proc" name="stereo_image_proc" >
    </node>

    <node pkg="viso2_ros" type="stereo_odometer" name="stereo_odometer">
        <remap from="stereo" to="$(arg camera)"/>
        <remap from="image" to="image_rect"/>
        <param name="base_link_frame_id" value="$(arg camera)"/>
    </node>

    <!-- Stereo SLAM -->
    <node pkg="stereo_slam" type="localization" name="stereo_slam" output="screen">

      <!-- Working directory -->
      <param name="work_dir" value="/home/user/catkin_ws/src/stereo_slam/data" />

      <param name="odom_topic" value="/stereo_odometer/odometry" />
      <param name="camera_topic" value="$(arg camera)" />

    </node>

</launch>

Please let me know if that helped. Also if you are able to reconstruct or get the graph_viewer running, tell me.

Hi Solbach,

Your input is very helpful. The program can run on my side, but there is still one issue.

I can't view the topic /graph_camera_odometry in rViz, the reason is that the frame_id is empty.

I am not sure what the reason is. Does it work well on your side?

BTW, it is really appreciated if you can share a input bag file with me. Thanks a lot

Yanming

solbach · 2015-08-29T03:38:05Z

Hey,
you can use this bag file to test it. But since it is form rtabmap_ros and uses different topics, you need to change the name of the topics stereo_slam is listening to.

Cheers
