Once the `msckf_vio` is built and sourced (via `source <path to catkin_ws>/devel/setup.bash`), there are two launch files prepared for the [EuRoC](https://projects.asl.ethz.ch/datasets/doku.php?id=kmavvisualinertialdatasets) and [UPenn fast flight](https://github.com/KumarRobotics/msckf_vio/wiki/Dataset) dataset with launch files `msckf_vio_euroc.launch` and `msckf_vio_fla.launch` respectively.

Each launch files instantiates two ROS nodes:
* `image_processor` processes stereo images to detect and track features * `image_processor` processes stereo images to detect and track features
* `vio` obtains feature measurements from the `image_processor` and tightly fuses them with the IMU messages to estimate pose. * `vio` obtains feature measurements from the `image_processor` and tightly fuses them with the IMU messages to estimate pose.

To visualize the pose and feature estimations you can use the provided rviz configurations found in `msckf_vio/rviz` folder to visualize corresponding datatset estimations (EuRoC: `rviz_euroc_config.rviz`, Fast dataset: `rvis_fla_config.rviz`).
