RGB Pointcloud and Live Camera Tracking on Pointcloud Viewer

[omarabid59]

I've added the changes from alexanderkoumis repository for RGB pointcloud visualization.

Also, I've added a nifty feature to toggle Live Camera Tracking on the pointcloud viewer using either dynamic reconfigure or by hitting the m key. For a visualization of this, please see this Wiki.

Finally, I've added the ability to output the rendered pointcloud display as a topic. This is set to disabled by default. To enable, see `lsd_slam_viewer/src/settings.cpp or using dynamic reconfigure.

Thank you for this work. I am noticing in the pointcloud publisher you are publishing the raw depth values and not factoring in camera extrinsics (cam_to_world)? Are you accounting for this somewhere else?

[alexanderkoumis]

Can you post a quick screencapture of the pointcloud being published in Rviz?

Nice to see this is still being worked on years after it was abandoned by original developers

The pointcloud publisher only outputs the raw values, so there's no camera extrinsic required here. See below for a screenshot of the topic being published in Rviz.

Oh okay, got it. I thought this was a pointcloud publisher something akin to https://github.com/alexanderkoumis/lsd_slam_to_pcl, didn't read the commit close enough. Anyways, thank you for your work, like I said I am really glad this project is still alive, one of the best open source RGB -> depth packages out there.
