GPU Voxels Logo

GPU-Voxels is a CUDA based library which allows high resolution volumetric collision detection between animated 3D models and live pointclouds from 3D sensors of all kinds. It is mainly developed for robotics planning and monitoring tasks. See our videos on http://www.gpu-voxels.org/demos/ to get an impression.

Support:

Find more information on our website http://www.gpu-voxels.org Doxygen is available at http://www.gpu-voxels.org/doxygen/html/

If you have questions or experience any problems with the software, please post to our GitHub Bugtracker: at https://github.com/fzi-forschungszentrum-informatik/gpu-voxels/issues

Install dependencies:

This software is tested under 64 Bit Ubuntu Linux 14.04, 16.04 and 18.04. Find detailed installation and linking instructions in our Doxygen.

Core:

  • CUDA 7.5, 8.0, 9.x or 10.0
  • PCL
  • OpenNI
  • Boost
  • TinyXML (libtinyxml-dev)

Visualizer:

  • GLEW (libglew, libglew-dev)
  • GLM (libglm-dev). Probably you will have to patch one file: See g-truc/glm#530
  • OpenGL
  • GLUT (freeglut3, freeglut3-dev)

Examples:

  • ROS (Robot Operation System)
  • OpenNI to interface 3D cameras
  • urdfdom
  • orocos
  • kdl_parser

Compiling:

    mkdir build
    cd build
    cmake ..
    make

==> This will also generate example programs and a visualization tool to see some live demos.

Doxygen files can be generated by

    make doc

Compiling without C++11

C++11 is enabled by default. To compile without C++11 mode comment out this at the top of packages/gpu_voxels/CMakeLists.txt: SET(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 11) This is important if you are still using ROS Indigo and need to compile without C++11 support for compatibility reasons. There is a separate indigo branch that only differs in this line to disable C++11 during compilation.

Known issues

  • If the ROS dependency was found, but the GPU-Voxels URDF features are still unabailable, run source /opt/ros/YOUR_ROS_DISTRO/setup.bash before running cmake.
  • Eigen 3 issues: can be fixed by cloning a more current unstable Eigen version and placing it in CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
  • Cuda 8.0: Code compiled with Cuda 8.0 works fine with older GPU drivers such as 375.66, but there are runtime errors with driver 384.111 and newer ("PTX JIT compilation failed"). Easy fix: use Cuda 10 with a current 410 or newer driver version. Cuda 10 is also available for Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04.
  • GLM: There is a known bug in GLM on Ubuntu 16.04 that has to be patched to allow usage of the visualizer. Apply the patch described at g-truc/glm#530 to /usr/include/glm/detail/func_common.inl
