Revision history [back]

My (obviously biased) suggestion would be to use rgbdslam. In the latest version it can be used very easily to create an octomap for you. Since you have no experience in ROS, the GUI will greatly help you. If you use Ubuntu 11.10 or 12.04, you can just follow the installation walkthrough on the rgbdslam wiki page for ROS+RGBDSLAM+OctoMap. As described there, the octomap library can be installed from binary packages and doesn't have to be compiled (there are no rgbdslam binaries though).
