Effectively Detecting Loop Closures using Point Cloud Density Maps.

Use MapClosures in your C++ project
- Include the following snippet in your project's
CMakeLists.txt: ```cmake set(USESYSTEMEIGEN3 ON CACHE BOOL "use system eigen3") set(USESYSTEMOPENCV ON CACHE BOOL "use system opencv")
include(FetchContent) FetchContentDeclare( mapclosures GITREPOSITORY https://github.com/PRBonn/MapClosures.git GITTAG main SOURCESUBDIR cpp ) FetchContentMakeAvailable(map_closures)
``` You can trigger the automatic installation of the dependencies by playing around with the options in the first three lines of the snippet.
- Link MapClosures against your library or executable:
cmake target_link_libraries(my_target PUBLIC map_closures) - The following include directive in your source code file will provide access to the core API of MapClosures:
cpp #include <map_closures/MapClosures.hpp>
Install the Python API and CLI
pip install map-closures
Usage
The following command will provide details about how to use our pipeline: ```sh map_closure_pipeline --help ```
Providing the -v flag will initialize the visualizer: ```sh map_closure_pipeline -v ```

Paper Results
As we decided to continue the development of MapClosures beyond the scope of the ICRA paper, we created a git tag so that researchers can consistently reproduce the results of the publication. To checkout at this tag, you can run the following:
sh
git checkout ICRA2024
Our development aims to push the performances of MapClosures above the original results of the paper.
