This fork simplifies building LSD-SLAM on Windows with Visual Studio 2013 (VS12).
Install pre-build binaries of OpenCV 3.0 and Boost Library 1.59.0 x64 fro VS 12.
Open LSD-SLAM.sln in Visual Studio 2013 and correct the paths in the LSD-SLAM.props which can be found in the 'Settings' folder of the solution.
LSD-SLAM is a novel approach to real-time monocular SLAM. It is fully direct (i.e. does not use keypoints / features) and creates large-scale, semi-dense maps in real-time on a laptop. For more information see http://vision.in.tum.de/lsdslam where you can also find the corresponding publications and Youtube videos, as well as some example-input datasets, and the generated output as rosbag or .ply point cloud.
