nano /home/rock/ORB_SLAM2/include/ORBextractor.h
    //#include <opencv/cv.h>
      #include <opencv2/opencv.hpp>
  1. add #include <unistd.h> to files:
    /ORB_SLAM2/src/LoopClosing.cc
    /ORB_SLAM2/src/System.cc
    /ORB_SLAM2/src/Tracking.cc
    /ORB_SLAM2/src/LocalMapping.cc
    /ORB_SLAM2/src/Viewer.cc

  2. add #include <opencv2/opencv.hpp> to
    /ORB_SLAM2/src/FrameDrawer.cc

  3. add

#include <opencv2/imgproc/types_c.h>
#include <opencv2/opencv.hpp>
using namespace cv;

to:
/ORB_SLAM2/include/System.h
/ORB_SLAM2/include/PnPsolver.h

  1. fix ORB_SLAM2/include/LoopClosing.h :
    before:
    Eigen::aligned_allocator<std::pair<const KeyFrame*, g2o::Sim3> > > KeyFrameAndPose;
    after:
    Eigen::aligned_allocator<std::pair<KeyFrame* const, g2o::Sim3> > > KeyFrameAndPose;

  2. add

#include <unistd.h>
#include <opencv2/imgproc/types_c.h>
#include <opencv2/opencv.hpp>
using namespace cv;

and change CV_LOAD_IMAGE_UNCHANGED to IMREAD_UNCHANGED (should looks like - imRGB = cv::imread(string(argv[3])+"/"+vstrImageFilenamesRGB[ni],IMREAD_UNCHANGED);

in files:
nano /home/rock/ORB_SLAM2/Examples/RGB-D/rgbd_tum.cc
/ORB_SLAM2/Examples/Stereo/stereo_kitti.cc
/ORB_SLAM2/Examples/Stereo/stereo_kitti.cc
/ORB_SLAM2/Examples/Stereo/stereo_euroc.cc
/ORB_SLAM2/Examples/Monocular/mono_tum.cc
/ORB_SLAM2/Examples/Monocular/mono_kitti.cc
/ORB_SLAM2/Examples/Monocular/mono_euroc.cc
