OrcVIO-Lite

About

• Object residual constrained Visual-Inertial Odometry (OrcVIO) is a visual-inertial odometry pipeline, which is tightly coupled with tracking and optimization over structured object models. It provides accurate trajectory estimation and large-scale object-level mapping from online Mono+IMU data.

• OrcVIO-Lite only uses bounding boxs and no keypoints. The object mapping module and VIO module are implemented in separate ROS nodelets and are decoupled.

1. Prerequisites

This repository was tested on Ubuntu 18.04 with ROS Melodic.

The core algorithm depends on Eigen, Boost, Suitesparse, Ceres, OpenCV, Sophus, GTest

2. Installation

2.1 Non-ROS version

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/shanmo/OrcVIO-Lite.git
$ cd OrcVIO-Lite
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
$ make

2.2 ROS version

• Environment is Ubuntu 18.04 with ROS Melodic
• The ROS version also depends on catkin simple, please put it in the ros_wrapper/src folder

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/shanmo/OrcVIO-Lite.git
$ cd OrcVIO-Lite/ros_wrapper
$ catkin_make
$ source ./devel/setup.bash

3. Evaluation

3.1 Non-ROS Version

• Download dataset

  Download EuRoC MAV Dataset to PATH_TO_EUROC_DATASET/.

• VIO

$ cd PATH_TO_ORCVIO_LITE/
$ ./run_euroc.sh PATH_TO_EUROC_DATASET/

3.2 ROS Version

• Download dataset

  ERL indoor dataset (chairs, monitors)

  • Indoor rosbags were collected with Realsense D435i in Existential Robotics Lab, University of California San Diego.

• VIO

$ cd OrcVIO_Lite/ros_wrapper/
$ roslaunch orcvio orcvio_vio_rs_d435i.launch path_bag:=PATH_TO_ERL_DATASET/

• VIO & Mapping

$ cd OrcVIO_Lite/ros_wrapper/
$ roslaunch orcvio orcvio_mapping_rs_d435i.launch path_bag:=PATH_TO_ERL_DATASET/

• rviz visualization

4. Notes

• The path to save the object map is set in config/object_feat_erl.yaml by result_dir_path_object_map
