About RTAB-Map
RTAB-Map uses RGB-D, stereo camera or LiDAR data to build maps and recognize previously visited locations. It can be used with a handheld sensor or on a robot, and includes a standalone application alongside its library and ROS tools.
Mobile apps are also available for Android and iOS. The project notes that commercial use may be restricted when OpenCV is built with its nonfree module.
