In this chapter, we will be using OpenCV for most of the applications. In the last section, for Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (vSLAM) techniques, we will see the use of an open source repository; directions for its use are mentioned in the section. The dataset is the RGBD dataset, consisting of a sequence of images captured using RGB and a depth camera. To download this dataset, visit the following link and download the fr1/xyz tar file: https://vision.in.tum.de/data/datasets/rgbd-dataset/download.
Alternatively, use the following (Linux only) command in a Terminal:
wget https://vision.in.tum.de/rgbd/dataset/freiburg1/rgbd_dataset_freiburg1_xyz.tgz
tar -xvf rgbd_dataset_freiburg1_xyz.tgz
