v0.21.0

Standalone changes

Library changes

  • RTAB-Map library now uses CMake targets to make it easier to include in another cmake project. 
    find_package(RTABMap REQUIRED)
target_link_libraries(MyApp rtabmap::core)
  • Updated compilation instructions on Windows, now using officially vcpkg for main dependencies.
  • Added option to set priors on markers (automatically transform map in world coordinates)
  • [ROS] Multi-camera visual odometry and localization support (build with OpenGV dependency).
  • [ROS] On Noetic and ROS2, the rtabmap_ros package has been split into sub packages (you can now get all message definitions without installing everything, only ros-$ROS_DISTRO-rtabmap-msgs). See migration guide here. For example: 
    <!-- Before: -->
<node pkg="rtabmap_ros" type="rtabmap" name="rtabmap"/>
<node pkg="rtabmap_ros" type="rgbd_odometry" name="rgbd_odometry"/>
<!-- Now: -->
<node pkg="rtabmap_slam" type="rtabmap" name="rtabmap"/>
<node pkg="rtabmap_odom" type="rgbd_odometry" name="rgbd_odometry"/>
  • [Android] Added recovery feature, android 30 support, fixed various bugs
  • [iOS] Improved significantly rendering performance on latest iPhones
  • [Docker] Added 22.04 / Jammy image
  • Improved stability and many bug fixes as seen below.

v0.20.16

Standalone changes

  • DUO mode extended to any combination of cameras (not only T265+L515 or D435). For example, using T265 odometry with a Kinect Azure camera for RGB/depth, or ZED camera for odometry with a Realsense L515 camera for RGB/depth. Added extrinsics calibration tool between the cameras for convenience. See "Preferences->Odometry Sensor" section for more info.
  • Added SuperPoint support (included in cuda11-1 release below).
  • Added DepthAI support (OAK-D camera).
  • Improved localization accuracy with and without AprilTags.

v0.20.8

Release notes:

  • Major updates:
    • Updated default parameters to avoid getting lost easily with HD sensors:
      • GFTT/MinDistance is now 7,
      • Vis/CorGuessWinSize is now 40,
      • Optimizer/GravitySigma is now 0.3 (enabling gravity constraints so that the map is aligned with gravity by default).
    • When selecting sensors from the Detection->Select source... menu, if the sensor has IMU capability, we automatically enable Madgwick filter (except for zed cameras as they give the quaternion directly). For L515, we adjust the default RGB size to a compatible one (1280x720x30).
      • L515: added support for latest firmware 1.5.3, we also rescale down the depth image after registration to save computation time and memory.
      • ZED-Mini/ ZED2: we wait for a valid quaternion before sending frame data, so that odometry can always start aligned with gravity.
      • Kinect For Azure: set rendering ROI to "0.05 0.05 0.05 0.05" to avoid black lines in the 3D map (because of RGB rectification).
    • Added config below for Kinect For Azure and L515 lighting invariant mode (ICP odometry), more info here.
  • Dependencies included in the Windows binaries:
    • Core: OpenCV 4.5.0 with xfeatures2d and nonfree modules (GPU options enabled on cuda11.1 release), PCL 1.11.1 with VTK 8.2.0 (enabling EDL shader option), Qt5.15.2, libpointmatcher

    • Optimizers: TORO, g2o, GTSAM

  • Mac OS X Big Sur hanging issue:
    • Launch from terminal like this: QT_MAC_WANTS_LAYER=1 /Applications/RTABMap.app/Contents/MacOS/RTABMap
  • Windows High CPU Usage
    • This can be related to OpenMP, try setting environment variable OMP_WAIT_POLICY to passive.
  • Compatible with RTAB-Map Tango 0.20

v0.20.7

Release notes:

  • Dependencies included in the Windows binaries:
    • Core: OpenCV 4.5.0 with xfeatures2d and nonfree modules (GPU options enabled on cuda11.1 release), PCL 1.11.1 with VTK 8.2.0 (enabling EDL shader option), Qt5.15.2, libpointmatcher
    • Drivers:
      • OpenNI and OpenNI2 (Kinect for XBOX 360, Xtion Live Pro),
      • Freenect2 (UsbDk should be installed),
      • Kinect for Windows SDK 2.0 (Kinect for XBOX ONE),
      • Kinect For Azure,
      • RealSense (ZR300, R200),
      • RealSense2 2.40.0 (T265, D415, D435, D435i, L515, D400 Series visual presets can be used),
      • Tara,
      • Mynt Eye S SDK,
      • ZED SDK 3.3.3 (enabled on cuda11.1 release)
      • Important for HD images >480p
        • Some new cameras can output HD images (and even higher resolutions), the default GFTT/BRIEF feature doesn't work well with high resolution images. It is recommended to increase GFTT/MinDistance (GFTT->Minimum Euclidean distance) to 7-10 for example or use scale invariant features (ORB-OCTREE approach can be a good choice to keep speed with binary descriptors). Increase also Vis/CorGuessWinSize (Visual Registration->Matching window size) to 40-60 to get smoother odometry.
    • Optimizers: TORO, g2o, GTSAM
    • Reconstruction: OctoMap, CPUTSDF
  • Mac OS X Big Sur hanging issue:
    • Launch from terminal like this: QT_MAC_WANTS_LAYER=1 /Applications/RTABMap.app/Contents/MacOS/RTABMap
  • ROS kinetic, melodic and noetic binaries have been updated (should appear in next ROS releases).
  • Major updates:
    • Improved Kinect for Azure support with IMU and IR-only mode. See this post for an example with K4A and libpointmatcher in completely dark environments.
    • Added minimal L515 support (only one resolution RGB+Depth is yet available).
    • Improved significantly memory usage (less RAM).
    • DatabaseViewer: manual constraints can be added.
    • Updated default parameters for ORB-OCTREE feature.
    • Fixed root node Yaw drifting with GTSAM and gravity links.
    • Updated point cloud visualization tools to support "Intensity" field. Also added new colormap (rainbow colors) for intensity visualization.
    • Added database target version parameter. Useful to create an older database format that will be compatible with older RTAB-Map versions.
    • Including 99 commits since previous release.
  • Compatible with RTAB-Map Tango 0.20
  • See Installation page for additional installation instructions depending on your platform and the camera you are using (e.g., drivers).
