| 37 | +## Getting Started |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +### Requirements |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +Basic catkin requirements can be installed by calling following command from the top of the catkin workspace: |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | + rosdep install -y -r --from-paths src --ignore-src |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +Further requirements: |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +- [**PCL**](https://pointclouds.org/) |
| 48 | +- [**OpenCV**](https://opencv.org/) |
| 49 | +- [**Qt**](https://www.qt.io/) |
| 50 | +- [**small_gicp**](https://github.com/koide3/small_gicp): This is included as git-submodule and will be cloned and built on the first build. It is licensed under the MIT-License. |
| 51 | +- [**OpenMP**](https://www.openmp.org/) (optional): This is used to parallelize and speed up the processing of each point in the point cloud. If not found by CMake the processing will be done sequentially. |
| 52 | +- [**Doxygen**](https://www.doxygen.nl/) (optional): If available, this Doxygen documentation will be build automatically. |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +### Build |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +1. Clone repository: |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | + ```bash |
| 59 | + git clone [email protected]:FraunhoferIOSB/multisensor_calibration.git |
| 60 | + ``` |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +2. (OPTIONAL) Clone and build 'small_gicp'.<br>If this step is omitted, it will be executed as part of the first build. |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | + ```bash |
| 65 | + cd multisensor_calibration && ./scripts/clone_small_gicp.sh && ./build_and_install_small_gicp.sh |
| 66 | + ``` |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +3. Initialize `rosdep` and install dependencies: |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | + ```bash |
| 71 | + sudo rosdep init |
| 72 | + rosdep update |
| 73 | + rosdep install --from-paths src -y --ignore-src |
| 74 | + ``` |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +4. Run `catkin` to build from source:<br> |
| 77 | +To build in 'Debug' mode add `-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug` to catkin command. |
| 78 | +If 'CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE' omitted, multisensor_calibration will be build in 'Release' mode. |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | + ```bash |
| 81 | + catkin build -j8 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release multisensor_calibration |
| 82 | + ``` |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +### Run |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +```bash |
| 87 | +rosrun multisensor_calibration multisensor_calibration |
| 88 | +``` |
| 89 | + |
