Use with Docker

[MGforest]

Hi,
I created a Dockerfile for it. Save it as "Dockerfile", without file extension.

FROM osrf/ros:noetic-desktop-full

# Install PCL 1.13 from source
RUN mkdir -p /opt/pcl && \
    cd /opt/pcl && \
    git clone https://github.com/PointCloudLibrary/pcl.git && \

# Create the workspace and build Fast-LIVO in it
ENV WORKSPACE=/catkin_ws

RUN mkdir -p $WORKSPACE/src

# Clone Vikit
RUN cd $WORKSPACE/src && \
    git clone https://github.com/uzh-rpg/rpg_vikit.git && \
    cd rpg_vikit/vikit_common/src && \
    sed -i '48s/CV_RANSAC/cv::RANSAC/' homography.cpp && \

    sed -i '437s/CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE/cv::WINDOW_AUTOSIZE/' img_align.cpp

# Clone and build livox_ros_driver
RUN cd $WORKSPACE/src && \
    git clone https://github.com/Livox-SDK/livox_ros_driver.git

# Clone and build Fast-LIVO
RUN cd $WORKSPACE/src && \
    git clone https://github.com/hku-mars/Fast-LIVO.git && \
    cd Fast-LIVO && \
    git submodule update --init --recursive

    
RUN cd $WORKSPACE && \
    /bin/bash -c "source /opt/ros/noetic/setup.bash && catkin_make"

WORKDIR /catkin_ws

then go to your local Fast-LIVO folder. I created a "data" folder.
PWD : ~/catkin_ws/src/FAST-LIVO/data
The dot says, the Dockerfile is located in the current folder, can be anywhere, but I have in the Fast-LIVO folder.

$ docker build -t fast-livo .

$docker run -it -e "DISPLAY" -e "QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1" -v "/tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix:rw" -v "$PWD:/data" fast-livo

in the container:
/catkin_ws# source devel/setup.bash

/catkin_ws# roslaunch fast_livo mapping_avia.launch

add a new terminal:
in a new local terminal, type:
$ docker ps
$ docker exec -it -e DISPLAY -e QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1 CONTAINTER-ID bash
/catkin_ws# rosbag play /data/lidar_cam.bag

This was based on #53 and https://github.com/ethz-asl/kalibr/wiki/installation
