SaDVIO

This library provide a modular C++ framework dedicated on research about Visual Odometry (VO) and Visual Inertial Odometry (VIO). It also contains implementations of research works done at ISAE such as: factor graph sparsification, traversability estimation with 3D mesh and non overlapping field of view VO. This version is compatible with the middleware ROS2.

Installation

Here are the dependencies:

• OpenCV for image processing
• CERES a non linear solver from google
• Eigen a linera algebra library
• yaml-cpp to parse config files
• PCL to deal with point clouds

You can either run this code with ROS2, the famous robotic middleware, or without ROS2. For now it has been tested with Galactic and Humble.

ROS2 install

Once these are all installed, use the following commands to build:

cd ~/your_ws/src
git clone https://github.com/ISAE-PNX/SaDVIO.git
cd ..
colcon build --symlink-install --packages-select isae_slam_ros

Then launch the program with:

ros2 launch isae_slam_ros isae_slam.xml

You can then play a rosbag with the topics specified in the config files.

Classic install

Go in the cpp folder and build it

cd ~/your_ws/src
git clone https://github.com/ISAE-PNX/SaDVIO.git
cd SaDVIO/cpp
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

You can then run this executable, adding the folder of the config files and the folder of your dataset:

./isaeslam "/ur/path/SaDVIO/ros/config" "/ur/path/V1_01_easy/mav0"

Your dataset must be at the EUROC dataset format and you must edit properly the files in the config folder.

Docker install

We have included a docker installation of SaDVIO in the docker folder. Simply run the run.sh script to build and run the image. A sequence of the EUROC dataset is downloaded for a first try. To run it, do the following:

cd SaDVIO/cpp/build/
./isaeslam "/root/SaDVIO/ros/config" "/root/V1_01_easy/mav0/"

Disclaimer

A few functionnalities are currently being tested, their performances are not guaranteed and were not presented in any paper:

• The lines as features and landmarks
• The mono and monovio modes
