This code is modified from HKUST's original "VINS-Fisheye" verion, it now can only run on datasets recorded by intel realsense T265. EUROC or TUM dataset are not supported under this version. I have provided a sample ros bag down below, you can also create your own dataset with a calibrated T265.
The code was compiled under 18.04 Melodic.

This repository is a Fisheye version of VINS-Fusion with GPU and Visionworks acceleration. It can run on Nvidia TX2 in real-time, also provide depth estimation based on fisheye. This project stands as a part of Omni-swarm: A Decentralized Omnidirectional Visual-Inertial-UWB State Estimation System for Aerial Swarm. You may use it alone on any type of robot or as a part of Omni-swarm for swarm robots.
Only stereo visual-inertial-odometry is supported for fisheye cameras now. Loop closure module for fisheye camera will release later.
Drone path and RGB point cloud estimation
Feature tracker for fisheye
Disparity estimation for depth estimation
The essential software environment is same as VINS-Fusion. Besides, it requires OpenCV cuda version.(Only test it on OpenCV 3.4.1). Visionworks: Optional
If you want to CUDA mode of this package, libSGM is required for depth estimation.
This package support CUDA mode and CPU mode with OpenMP enabled. If you are using on embedded device, I strongly recommend you to use this package with CUDA to achieve best performance.
By default, CUDA is automatically detected, however you can disable it by set
set(DETECT_CUDA false)When using OpenCV, I recommend that you to compile and install opencv 3.4 with CUDA to /usr/local/
If your opencv with CUDA is installed in other localization, modify the
SET("OpenCV_DIR" "/usr/local/share/OpenCV/")If you don't have visionworks, please
set(ENABLE_VWORKS false)NVIDIA VisionWorks gives slightly better performance, however, the VisionWorks support for this package is not stable yet.

Omni-swarm: A Decentralized Omnidirectional Visual-Inertial-UWB State Estimation System for Aerial Swarm The VINS-Fisheye is a part of Omni-swarm. If you want use VIN-Fisheye as a part of your research project, please cite this paper.
Autonomous aerial robot using dual‐fisheye cameras, Wenliang Gao, Kaixuan Wang, Wenchao Ding, Fei Gao, Tong Qin, Shaojie Shen, 2020 Journal of Field Robotics (JFR) for Fisheye camera navigation. The basic idea of this project is from this paper.
H. Xu, L. Wang, Y. Zhang and S. Shen. (2020) Decentralized visual-inertial-UWB fusion for relative state estimation of aerial swarm. in 2020 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA). IEEE. for swarm localization which is this project developed for.
VINS-Fusion is an optimization-based multi-sensor state estimator, which achieves accurate self-localization for autonomous applications (drones, cars, and AR/VR). VINS-Fusion is an extension of VINS-Mono, which supports multiple visual-inertial sensor types (mono camera + IMU, stereo cameras + IMU, even stereo cameras only). We also show a toy example of fusing VINS with GPS. Features:
- multiple sensors support (stereo cameras / mono camera+IMU / stereo cameras+IMU)
- online spatial calibration (transformation between camera and IMU)
- online temporal calibration (time offset between camera and IMU)
- visual loop closure
We are the top open-sourced stereo algorithm on KITTI Odometry Benchmark (12.Jan.2019).

VIO is not only a software algorithm, it heavily relies on hardware quality. For beginners, we recommend you to run VIO with professional equipment, which contains global shutter cameras and hardware synchronization.
Write a config file for your device. You can take config files of EuRoC and KITTI as the example.
VINS-Fusion support several camera models (pinhole, mei, equidistant). You can use camera model to calibrate your cameras. We put some example data under /camera_models/calibrationdata to tell you how to calibrate.
