Hi,
I want to use cftld_ros on the ubuntu 14.04+ros_indigo, I have download this code, and using catkin_make to build it ,But when the launch can't work. Can you tell me how to build this package?Thanks you very much!

Since cftld and cftld_ros depend on OpenCV 3.x, on ROS Indigo you need to compile cv_bridge against OpenCV 3.x. That's why we had our own fork of vision_opencv for ROS Indigo (built against OpenCV 3.x). As you can see this fork is now outdated and we do not recommend using it. Can you upgrade to ROS Kinetic and Ubuntu Xenial?

I've add a new branch for ROS Kinetic which relies on OpenCV 3.x provided by ROS, hence should work out-of-the-box. I've also updated the REAMDE with instructions on how to compile the package. I will gradually add the usage instructions, but to start please consult the provided launch file (you only need to change the remaps).
