How does multicam_calibration compare to Kalibr?

Just out of curiosity what is the motivation behind this repo? Are you planning to be a better multi-camera calibration than Kalibr? If so have you done comparisons?
This was made after being slightly frustrated by the speed of camera-camera calibration using Kalibr. It can take up to 10 mins for Kalibr to finish the camera-camera calibration. Our tool is definitely not as feature rich as Kalibr but by simplifying the tool we are able to speed it up a lot. On any modern laptop, the calibration tool can be run with a camera rate of between 5-10Hz without requiring any bag file collection and the actual optimization after data collection takes less than 30 secs, mostly less than 10 secs.
Nice thanks. I'll try it out sometime :)
