  • System Requirements for elevation_mapping Package?
    1 project | /r/ROS | 5 Oct 2021
    My lab's working on incorporating the ANYbotics elevation_mapping package (https://github.com/ANYbotics/elevation_mapping) into our robot. The plan is to use several Intel RealSense (or other RGB-D) cameras to provide data that the rover will use to build its elevation map of the surrounding environment. The trick is that this seems to be incredibly slow: my laptop doesn't have a very good graphics card and so the elevation_mapping demo that comes with the package runs incredibly slow. For our application, we need the process to run fairly quickly, but we're confused as to how to spec a computer for running this package on board an actual robot.
