Octomap vs Octomap_server

[octo...@gmail.com]

Ok I am trying to create an octomap with ROS. I installed octomap and octoviz using apt-get, but I am confused because i don't have octomap_server. Should i be compiling octomap_server and octomap_mapping in a workspace for ROS? If not, where do I get the launch files and examples? There doesn't seem to be any documentation on how to use the "octomap" package, everyone seems to be using octomap_server.

Also, how to do i convert a point cloud to octomap in real time?

octomap_server is part of the octomap_mapping package.

http://wiki.ros.org/octomap_server

Subscribed Topics:

cloud_in (sensor_msgs/PointCloud2)

Incoming 3D point cloud for scan integration. You need to remap this topic to your sensor data and provide a tf transform between the sensor data and the static map frame.
