You’re reading an older version of the Slamcore SDK documenation. The latest one is 23.04.

Examples

The SLAMcore C++ API provides some examples to illustrate different use cases and best practices, in addition to a minimal CMakeLists.txt to show how to include the library in a project.

Once the SLAMcore package is installed, this example source code should be available at /usr/src/slamcore/examples by default.

A user can build them as follows:

mkdir /tmp/slamcore_examples
cd /tmp/slamcore_examples
cmake /usr/src/slamcore/examples
make

Find below a list of the included examples.

  • Example hello_world_all_streams.cpp:

    Shows how to create and interact with the SLAM system. How to enable and use data streams, read properties and receive and display data in a loop.

  • Example ascii_mapping.cpp:

    Demonstrates how to generate a height and occupancy map when the depth stream is provided.

  • Example ascii_image.cpp:

    Demonstrates how to access images obtained from the SLAM system API.

  • Example multisession.cpp:

    Demonstrates how to set up and run a SLAM system in multisession mode, which means how to perform SLAM with an already saved session file from another execution of the software.

  • Example reset.cpp:

    One restriction is that only one SLAM system can exist at any given time. If the user wishes to reset it to start processing a data source cleanly, the common practice is to delete the current system and create a new one.

  • Example save_load_session.cpp:

    Demonstrates how to save a session using an async task and how to load it back.

  • Example wheel_odometry.cpp:

    Demonstrates how to run a SLAM system with wheel odometry fusion (visual-inertial-kinematics SLAM). Note that wheel odometry calibration is required, see Wheel Odometry Integration for more information.

  • Example write_trajectory.cpp:

    Demonstrates how to write and export trajectories into a CSV file. See Guide to Trajectories for more information.
