Documentation on Running the Codebase

[soujanya957]

Hi! I was looking into the paper for DVM SLAM and am quite interested in this topic. I wanted to run your codebase but I'm not being able to because of the limitations in the documentation to run this program. Would you be able to add some? I'd greatly appreciate it.

@soujanya957 did you manage to run this code? For me, I keep getting the message "attempting to find map scale" in the ros mono node.

@Astik-2002 unfortunately i ran into the same message. I only went through the code base and tried to fix it but moved on to a different project unfortunately. Do let me know if you figure it out though!

@soujanya957 hey, so I got the code working (kinda). I think the problem is with the images we are getting from the simulator. I removed the sim loop and connected a realsense camera, then passed it's image to the ros_mono package. The orb slam part was working (pangolin window showed the camera image with orb features, and we had some tracking also). It's slow sometimes due to visualization. I'll remove pangolin and try to get vis results using just rviz. Maybe @jyjblrd can shed some more light on this
