v0.20.7
Release notes:
- Dependencies included in the Windows binaries:

- Drivers:
- OpenNI and OpenNI2 (Kinect for XBOX 360, Xtion Live Pro),
- Freenect2 (UsbDk should be installed),
- Kinect for Windows SDK 2.0 (Kinect for XBOX ONE),
- Kinect For Azure,
- RealSense (ZR300, R200),
- RealSense2 2.40.0 (T265, D415, D435, D435i, L515, D400 Series visual presets can be used),
- Tara,
- Mynt Eye S SDK,
- ZED SDK 3.3.3 (enabled on cuda11.1 release)
- Important for HD images >480p
- Some new cameras can output HD images (and even higher resolutions), the default GFTT/BRIEF feature doesn't work well with high resolution images. It is recommended to increase
GFTT/MinDistance
(GFTT->Minimum Euclidean distance) to 7-10 for example or use scale invariant features (ORB-OCTREE approach can be a good choice to keep speed with binary descriptors). Increase alsoVis/CorGuessWinSize
(Visual Registration->Matching window size) to 40-60 to get smoother odometry.

- Optimizers: TORO, g2o, GTSAM
- Reconstruction: OctoMap, CPUTSDF
- Mac OS X Big Sur hanging issue:
- Launch from terminal like this:
QT_MAC_WANTS_LAYER=1 /Applications/RTABMap.app/Contents/MacOS/RTABMap
- Launch from terminal like this:
- ROS kinetic, melodic and noetic binaries have been updated (should appear in next ROS releases).
- Major updates:
- Improved Kinect for Azure support with IMU and IR-only mode. See this post for an example with K4A and libpointmatcher in completely dark environments.
- Added minimal L515 support (only one resolution RGB+Depth is yet available).
- Improved significantly memory usage (less RAM).
- DatabaseViewer: manual constraints can be added.
- Updated default parameters for ORB-OCTREE feature.
- Fixed root node Yaw drifting with GTSAM and gravity links.
- Updated point cloud visualization tools to support "Intensity" field. Also added new colormap (rainbow colors) for intensity visualization.
- Added database target version parameter. Useful to create an older database format that will be compatible with older RTAB-Map versions.
- Including 99 commits since previous release.
- Compatible with RTAB-Map Tango 0.20
- See Installation page for additional installation instructions depending on your platform and the camera you are using (e.g., drivers).
