It is able to detect loops and relocalize the camera in real time. We provide examples to run the SLAM system in the [KITTI dataset](http://www.cvlibs.net/datasets/kitti/eval_odometry.php) as stereo or monocular, in the [TUM dataset](http://vision.in.tum.de/data/datasets/rgbd-dataset) as RGB-D or monocular, and in the [EuRoC dataset](http://projects.asl.ethz.ch/datasets/doku.php?id=kmavvisualinertialdatasets) as stereo or monocular. We also provide a ROS node to process live monocular, stereo or RGB-D streams. **The library can be compiled without ROS**. ORB-SLAM2 provides a GUI to change between a *SLAM Mode* and *Localization Mode*, see section 9 of this document. #####Videos showing ORB-SLAM2: - - - - - - -**Notice for ORB-SLAM Monocular users:** -The monocular capabilities of ORB-SLAM2 compared to [ORB-SLAM Monocular](https://github.com/raulmur/ORB_SLAM) are similar. However in ORB-SLAM2 we apply a full bundle adjustment after a loop closure, the extraction of ORB is slightly different (trying to improve the dispersion on the image) and the tracking is also slightly faster. The GUI of ORB-SLAM2 also provides you new capabilities as the *modes* mentioned above and a reset button. We recommend you to try this new software :) + + + ###Related Publications: -[1] Raúl Mur-Artal, J. M. M. Montiel and Juan D.

Prerequisites We have tested the library in **Ubuntu 12.04** and **14.04**, but it should be easy to compile in other platforms. A powerful computer (e.g. i7) will ensure real-time performance and provide more stable and accurate results.
