Rtabmap_ros does not show octo map but points clouds are good

Question

Hi Im using two point Grey Chameleon3 mono camera set up as Master Salve and synchronized so can work as stereo camera. I have a installed ROS driver and able to publish the camera topics . Im using this ROS driver https://github.com/KumarRobotics/flea3. And with roslaunch flea3 stereo_node.launch left:=18081067 right:=17496474 camera:=stereo_camera

can launch the driver. Im hand holding the cameras so for that case using this tutorial http://wiki.ros.org/rtabmap_ros/Tutorials/StereoHandHeldMapping about hand-held stereo mapping.

This is my launch file that Im launching with rtabmap$ roslaunch rtabmap_ros stereo_mapping.launch rtabmap_args:="--delete_db_on_start --Vis/CorFlowMaxLevel 9000 --Stereo/MaxDisparity 80000 --Odom/Strategy 1 --Odom/GuessMotion true --Vis/EstimationType 1 --Vis/CorType 1 --Odom/ResetCountdown 1" left_image_topic:=/stereo_camera/left/image_rect_color queue_size:=40 stereo:=true rviz:=true rtabmapviz:=false

this is my TF tree from

rosrun tf view_frames

then rectified left right images and disparity.

Im not sure if the density is good enough but my point clouds in rtabmapviz looks ok. This is the rtabmapviz view The odometry quality is ok I think as it is around 900 as the output shows.

Im able to get the octomap but is not so good. Any help how to improve the map?

This is my Rviz. Fixed frame is base_link. Im not sure what should be the reference frame, as I dont have robot just hand hold the camera.

Here the map in rviz

Now the problem is the null timestamp Left Camera

Answer 1

From this warning:

[ WARN] (2018-08-21 15:29:10.585) Memory.cpp:749::update() The working memory is empty and the memory is not incremental (Mem/IncrementalMemory=False), no loop closure can be detected! Please set Mem/IncrementalMemory=true to increase the memory with new images or decrease the STM size (which is 1 including the new one added).

caused by this argument in the launch file:

<!-- Localization-only mode -->
  <arg name="localization"            default="true"/>

Set to false to do SLAM, otherwise there is no map constructed, thus no octomap. This should be only used when there is already a map constructed. When setting localization to true, it sets Mem/IncrementalMemory=False.

Also, don't include rtabmap.launch if you explicitly start stereo_odometry and rtabmap nodes, or use only rtabmap.launch (which starts stereo_odometry and rtabmap nodes, see original stereo_mapping.launch). You may have two stereo_odometry nodes and two rtabmap nodes started.

EDIT

I am not sure what you are expecting from the OctoMap and stereo, but the result you have seems okay. I took your launch file and tested on the dataset of this tutorial. I added the following at the top of your launch file to stream images from that dataset:

   <!-- stereo_20Hz directory -->
   <arg name="dir"        default="$(env HOME)/Downloads/stereo_20Hz" />
   <!-- Run stereo_sequence_publisher to publish synchronized images -->
   <node name="stereo_pub" pkg="bag_tools" type="stereo_sequence_publisher.py" output="screen">
      <param name="image_dir_left"         value="$(arg dir)/left"/>
      <param name="image_dir_right"        value="$(arg dir)/right"/>
      <param name="file_pattern"           value="*.jpg"/>
      <param name="camera_info_file_left"  value="$(arg dir)/stereo_20Hz_ros_left.yaml"/>
      <param name="camera_info_file_right" value="$(arg dir)/stereo_20Hz_ros_right.yaml"/>
      <param name="frequency"              value="20"/>
      <remap from="/stereo_camera/left/image_color"  to="/stereo_camera/left/image_raw" />
      <remap from="/stereo_camera/right/image_color" to="/stereo_camera/right/image_raw" />
      <remap from="/stereo_camera/left/camera_info"  to="/stereo_camera/left/camera_info" />
      <remap from="/stereo_camera/right/camera_info" to="/stereo_camera/right/camera_info" />
   </node>
   <node pkg="tf" type="static_transform_publisher" name="dummy_transform"
      args="0 0 0 0 0 0 stereo_camera/left stereo_20Hz_left 100" />  

Note that in this dataset, the ground is textured, so stereo can actually see the ground.

I edit the question. change the launch file and edit that in the question. No more warnings, can get the octo map but the quality is not so good. Any help how to improve the map?

Comment by matlabbe on 2018-08-29:
Updated answer

Comment by Astronaut on 2018-09-02:
Ok. Thanks. Only one question. Why in your launch file the transform is stereo_camera/left stereo_20Hz_left? And when set up rviz what should be reference frame and what should be fixed in my case when have handhold camera? My transform is base_link stereo_camera/left 100. Thanks

Comment by matlabbe on 2018-09-03:
The global frame in RVIz is map. The frame stereo_20Hz_left is the one published by the stereo_sequence_publisher, I didn't want to modify your launch file, so I just added a new transform. You don't need it in your setup.

Comment by Astronaut on 2018-09-07:
I run again with same settings same launch file and now no map. I got this: Odometry.cpp:559::process() Null stamp detected [ INFO] [1536298042.556386146]: Odom: quality=924, std dev=0.026198m|0.000032rad, update time=0.000000s. Why no odometry now? same launch file

Comment by matlabbe on 2018-09-07:
What is the header of your image messages? Is the stamp always set?

Comment by Astronaut on 2018-09-09:
how to check that?

Comment by Astronaut on 2018-09-10:
rostopic hz /stereo_camera/left/image_rect the average rate: 5.145 min: 0.125s max: 15.334s std dev: 0.96139s window: 250

Comment by Astronaut on 2018-09-10:
and the tf view_frames is diffrent. Map frame is gone.

Comment by Astronaut on 2018-09-10:
its always same: Null stamp detected and update time=0.000000s. But Odom: quality=939, std dev=0.029415m. I dont understand where is the problem

Comment by Astronaut on 2018-09-10:
I edit the camera info header. Please check

Comment by matlabbe on 2018-09-10:
Indeed the stamp in image topics is null. Modify the node publishing camera_info and the images to make sure the stamp is set to all topics. For example, the left camera info's stamp should be exactly the same than the left image topic's stamp.

Comment by Astronaut on 2018-09-10:
I didn't change any nodes . You mean just to modify the node name in launch file?

Comment by matlabbe on 2018-09-10:
Not sure what happened, but the node publishing the image seems not setting the stamp correctly. See why the node publishing the image is now publishing with null stamp.

Comment by Astronaut on 2018-09-11:
ok working now . But I can not see the disparity and rectified images now. What is the problem?

Comment by matlabbe on 2018-09-13:
Disparity and rectified images are published by stereo_image_proc, make sure the inputs are correct.

Comment by Astronaut on 2018-09-13:
Yes I know that are published by stereo_image_proc. What inputs do you mean?

Comment by matlabbe on 2018-09-14:
The inputs of stereo_image_proc, see example on its ros package description. If stereo_image_proc is not publishing anything, it is because it is not receiving anything or some of the input topics are not published...
