External parameter question about zed camera and imu

Closed this issue · 4 comments

According to the sensor installation diagram provided, the installation positions of IMU and zed are very close, but in the external reference document provided by the official:
################## Extrinsic parameter between IMU and Camera##################
################## camera is ZED2, a stereo camera##################
LEFT_CAMERA_T_IMU:!!opencv-matrix (Left camera to IMU)

The translation part of the 4x4 matrix, z direction is -3.0104266183335913e+00. A translation parameter larger than 3m is obviously wrong because the camera should not be located 3m below the IMU. I would like to know whether I used the parameter incorrectly or there is a problem with the external parameter calibration?

Hi you can refer to the issue #17 and #27

Hello. These problems have corrected the translation in the other two directions, but the translation in the z direction of 3m has not been mentioned. It is hoped that the external parameters of translation can be corrected. Thank you very much。

The calibration results of the z-direction of the left camera ZED2 is not good so far. You can use some online calibration tools (e.g., VINS mono) to have a better extrinsic parameter.
