To All:

I have a super-cheap robot that has one webcam, and may have two, set up to be a stereo pair. Are there any projects working on getting localization from an image source or a point cloud? Also, a related question, does vslam create the same kind of maps that slam_gmapping creates? When I watched the vslam video, it looks like it's a map of tracking points, not a map of the environment.

Thanks,

Max
