I followed the exact instructions from the VSLAM wiki.

I can't tell you what I see now inside the point_cloud_perception stack since I deleted the whole tree just a few minutes ago so I could install the ros-unstable-vslam directly from the ubuntu repository. I'm in the middle of the installation, but I see that the "point_cloud_perception" stack is also coming with this unstable release. " perception_pcl" is also there in my unstable tree.

It must have been the rosintall script that added all that.

Carlos,

You're right. Where did the point_cloud_perception stack came from and what's in it? You shouldn't need it anymore, as it's functionality has been superseded by perception_pcl.

Cheers,
Radu.

Radu,

I thought that by "sourcing" the "setup.sh" file in the ~/MY_DIR_whatever_tree    takes care of overlaying all of the
stack dependencies, such as: perception_pcl  point_cloud_perception  setup.sh  vision_opencv  vslam   Am I wrong?

Thanks for your quick replies!
