This project implements a standalone viewer application for ifm3d. It is built on top of the visualization framework provided by PCL and so the whole PCL visualization stack is a necessary requirement to use this application. ROS users may prefer to simply use the facilities of rviz via the ifm3d-ros package.
To build this software, you must have
ifm3d installed. Specifically, the
camera, framegrabber, and image modules at version 0.9.0 or better. This
software also requires the PCL visualization stack
and its dependencies. Version 1.7 or better of PCL should be sufficient.
The software can be built (using cmake) and installed (using dpkg) as follows:
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..
$ make
$ make package
$ make repackage
$ sudo dpkg -i ifm3d-pcl-viewer_0.1.0_amd64.deb
Assuming you followed the instructions from above for installation, you should
now have ifm3d-pcl-viewer installed at /usr/bin/ifm3d-pcl-viewer. Running
the executable on the command line, should result in a window similar to the
following:
If your camera is not located at the default IP address of 192.168.0.69, you
can leverage the IFM3D_IP environment variable when running the viewer to
help visualize the point cloud. For example, if your camera is located at
192.168.1.69, you would run the exectuable as follows:
$ IFM3D_IP=192.168.1.69 ifm3d-pcl-viewer
