error in launching node and ROS path

[Rnandani]

ERROR: cannot launch node of type [ros_utils/pose_to_path]: ros_utils
ROS path [0]=/opt/ros/indigo/share/ros
ROS path [1]=/home/mobilerobot/catkin_ws/src
ROS path [2]=/opt/ros/indigo/share
ROS path [3]=/opt/ros/indigo/stacks

Even though i am able to run kitti.launch file, i am getting above error.

Yes, it is a mistake that I did, I forgot to upload that node. It is just a node to visulize the trajectory path in rviz. I will upload it in the next weeks. But S-PTAM works without it.

I am ran kitti seq-00 for 6 times and got significant difference from the ground truth everytime. The poses were significantly different from the previous run also. Can you possibly guide me if i am missing anything.

You must have similar results for each run. Don't visualize anything, you must uses an i7 core, and compile by yourself g2o. When s-ptam has finished plot the estimated poses from the log file, and they must be similar. Does it help?

[Rnandani]

Yes..thanks!!

Hi, I have the same ros_utils error, where did you find the ROS package ?

[taihup]

ros_utils is a node developed by us. we use ros_utils for plot the camera trajectory in rviz, basically it collects all the poses published by S-PTAM and creates a path message to be shown by rviz. We are full of work these days, so we can not assure you that we are going to public ros_utils package soon.

Hi, I have the same ros_utils error, could you provider the this package ?

@Carrie0416, We uploaded the ros-utils package in https://github.com/lrse/ros-utils. I hope it helps.
