Install `librealsense` with Cuda support

Info

This procedure should be performed after the JetPack installation has been completed.

librealsense is a cross-platform library provided by Intel that can be used to take advantage of the features of the Intel Realsense cameras. After installing the cuda libraries, we can make the Realsense camera use also the gpu resources for better performances, enabling the cuda support.

In a terminal, clone the official repo with:

git clone https://github.com/IntelRealSense/librealsense.git

Install the librealsense required development packages:

sudo apt install libssl-dev freeglut3-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev pkg-config libgtk-3-dev unzip -y

Install the udev rules (the librealsense kernel patching procedure does not work with recent Jetpack versions):

sudo cp config/99-realsense-libusb.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger

Now you are ready to compile librealsense with Cuda support:

cd librealsense
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ../ -DFORCE_LIBUVC=BOOL:ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBUILD_WITH_CUDA=BOOL:ON -DBUILD_EXAMPLE=BOOL:OFF
make -j2
sudo make install

For more information, refer to the official documentation provided in the repository.
