RGBD-Inertial Trajectory Estimation and Mapping for Small Ground Rescue Robot
Based one open source SLAM framework VINS-Mono.
The approach contains
- Depth-integrated visual-inertial initialization process.
- Visual-inertial odometry by utilizing depth information while avoiding the limitation is working for 3D pose estimation.
- Noise elimination map which is suitable for path planning and navigation.
However, the proposed approach can also be applied to other application like handheld and wheeled robot.
