displaying ZED2 on rtabmap

Software ROS2

Hi everyone,
I’m working on implementing RTAB-Map with a ZED 2 stereo camera, but I’m encountering some difficulties during the setup process.

Environment:

  • Camera: ZED 2
  • OS: Ubuntu 22.04
  • ROS 2 Humble

Steps I’ve tried:

  1. Installed ZED SDK
  2. Set up ZED ROS 2 wrapper and examples

Current Status:
I have successfully installed the ZED SDK and ZED ROS 2 wrapper, but I’m unclear about the next steps for RTAB-Map integration. I’ve searched through documentation but haven’t found clear instructions specific to ZED 2 setup with RTAB-Map.

Questions:

  1. What are the step-by-step instructions to set up RTAB-Map with ZED 2?
  2. Are there any specific ROS 2 packages I need to install for this integration?
  3. Could someone share a basic working launch file configuration for RTAB-Map with ZED 2?
  4. Are there any tutorials or documentation specifically for ZED 2 and RTAB-Map integration?

I would greatly appreciate any resources, examples, or guidance to help me get started with this setup.

Hi @jane
Welcome to the StereoLabs community.

We do not have a tutorial to use the ZED with RTABmap on ROS 2, but you can use the tutorial for ROS as a base starting point to understand what topics are required by RTABmpa to work:
