RGBDSLAM V2 is available and works well. There is a decent amount of explanation and instructions here: http://felixendres.github.io/rgbdslam_v2/
The documentation lists it as using openni_launch, but it works with freenect_launch as well.
One note about installing RGBDSLAM V2 is that you may experience an error during compiling due to SiftGPU, such as *** [build/CuTexImage.o] Error 1. If this happens, you can adjust the CMakeLists.txt file to turn off SiftGPU by changing the line set(USE_SIFT_GPU 1) to set(USE_SIFT_GPU 0).
Hopefully this can get you started.

But it says it is for ros groovy . will it also work for indigo?

Sorry, I didn't explicitly state that it works for Indigo. Some of the documentation is outdated, but if you look on the GitHub link there will be a branch for Indigo, which is fully functional.

thank you for your help. i git cloned the package to my workspace , but while executing "rosdep install rgbdslam_v2"
i get following error:
ERROR: ERROR: Rosdep cannot find all required resources to answer your query
Missing resource rgbdslam_v2
ROS path [0]=/opt/ros/indigo/share/ros

Two things to mention here,
- The package name is
rgbdslam, notrgbdslam_v2. If you look in the launch files thats how it is referred to. So try runningrosdep install rgbdslam. - Based on the error output from Rosdep, it doesn't look like you have a catkin workspace setup. Did you clon
