Usage

Some quick infos on how to use.

Start the ROS In-hand scanner:

roscore
rosrun ros_in_hand_scanner ros_in_hand_scanner_node

Due to performance issues, a realtime registration is very slow with down to < 0.1 fps. A workaround is to record a rosbag file during the scanprocess itself. You can use the preview window to get a view of your actual scan orientation. Play the rosbag file afterwards with a low rate ~0.1 and start registration now. Follow the hints in the PCL documentation for your scan process.
