NDT Feature Suite

This is a package for doing Graph SLAM using NDT (normal distribution transform). There is 3 subpackage:

• ndt_feature: the GraphSLAM package
• ndt_offline_ndt_feature: the package to process rosbag files offline using ndt_feature
• ndt_rviz_visualisation_ndt_feature: the package to visualize the graphs on Rviz

Disclaimer

This package was created to use with the Auto-Complete-Graph SLAM (yes, this is shameless advertising for my actual project). The NDTFeatureGraph suite is meant to diseappear and be replaced by something better in the close future. Feel free to use this package, but there sould not be any more update to this package.
