代码修改

  1. 增加rbg显示，根据配置文件中isColor标志，决定rbg还是gray
  2. g2o中的se3quat的exp有误，证明如下：
R = (Matrix3d::Identity()
              + sin(theta)/theta *Omega
              + (1-cos(theta))/(theta*theta)*Omega2);

V = (Matrix3d::Identity()
  + (1-cos(theta))/(theta*theta)*Omega
  + (theta-sin(theta))/(pow(theta,3))*Omega2);

当theta很小时(小于0.00001)，R和V可以简化为

$$R = Matrix3d::Identity() + \frac{sin(\theta)}{\theta} *Omega + \frac{1-cos(\theta)}{\theta^2}*Omega2;$$ $$cos(\theta)=1 - 2 * sin^2(\frac{\theta}{2}) \approx 1 - 2 * (\frac{\theta}{2})^2$$ $$1 - cos(\theta) \approx \frac{\theta^2}{2}$$ $$R \approx Matrix3d::Identity() + Omega + 0.5 * Omega2$$

同理

$$V = Matrix3d::Identity() + \frac{1-cos(\theta)}{\theta^2} * Omega + \frac{\theta-sin(\theta)}{\theta^3} * Omega2$$

根据泰勒展开式

$$sin(\theta) \approx \theta - \frac{\theta^3}{3!} + \frac{\theta^5}{5!}$$

故

$$\frac{\theta-sin(\theta)}{\theta^3} \approx \frac{1.}{6}$$

故

$$V \approx Matrix3d::Identity() + 0.5 * Omega + \frac{1.}{6} * Omega2$$

对于se3 $\delta$

$$\delta = \begin{pmatrix} \theta \\ t \end{pmatrix}$$

又

$$e^\delta = \begin{pmatrix} R & Vt \\\ 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix}$$

故当t很小时

$$V \approx Matrix3d::Identity()$$ $$R \approx Matrix3d::Identity() + Omega$$

  1. 根据EdgePriorAcc对G2oTypes中的jacobi进行修改

  2. 根据EdgePriorGyro对G2oTypes中的jacobi进行修改

  3. 添加点云

  4. 添加AR

代码中部分jacobi推导

G2oTypes中的EdgeMono、EdgeMonoOnlyPose、EdgeStereo、EdgeStereoOnlyPose的jacobi推导

$$t_{wb} = t_{wb} + R_{wb} * \delta t$$ $$R_{wb} = R_{wb} * Exp(\delta \theta)$$ $$err = obj - est$$ $$p_c = R_{cw} * p_w + t_{cw}$$ $$est = K(p_c)$$ $$K( \begin{pmatrix} x \\\ y \\\ z \end{pmatrix}) = \begin{pmatrix} \frac{f_x x}{z} + c_x \\\ \frac{f_y y}{z} + c_y \end{pmatrix}$$

由于关于 $R_{wb}$ 和 $t_{wb}$ 的导数，需做以下变换

$$R_{cw} = R_{cb} * R_{wb}^T$$ $$t_{cw} = R_{cb} * t_{bw} + t_{cb}$$ $$t_{bw} = -R_{wb}^T * t_{wb}$$

因此

$$est = K(R_{cw} * p_w + t_{cw}) = K(R_{cb} * R_{wb}^T * p_w - R_{cb} * R_{wb}^T * t_{wb} + t_{cb})$$

记

$$p_c = R_{cb} * R_{wb}^T * p_w - R_{cb} * R_{wb}^T * t_{wb} + t_{cb} = R_{cb} * R_{wb}^T * (p_w - t_{wb}) + t_{cb}$$

error关于R的导数

$$\frac{\partial err}{\partial \delta \theta} = \frac{\partial err}{\partial p_c} \frac{\partial p_c}{\partial \delta \theta}$$ $$\frac{\partial err}{\partial p_c} = \begin{pmatrix} \frac{f_x}{z} & 0 & -\frac{f_x x}{z^2}\\ 0 & \frac{f_y}{z} & -\frac{f_y y}{z^2} \end{pmatrix}$$ $$p_c(\delta \theta) = R_{cb} * (R_{wb} * Exp(\delta \theta))^T * (p_w - t_{wb}) + t_{cb}$$ $$= R_{cb} * (I - \delta \theta ^ \land)* R_{wb}^T * (p_w - t_{wb}) + t_{cb}$$ $$= p_c - R_{cb} * \delta \theta ^ \land * R_{wb}^T * (p_w - t_{wb})$$ $$= p_c + R_{cb} * (R_{wb}^T * (p_w - t_{wb})) ^ \land * \delta \theta$$

所以

$$\frac{\partial p_c}{\partial \delta \theta} = R_{cb} * (R_{wb}^T * (p_w - t_{wb})) ^ \land$$ $$\frac{\partial p_c}{\partial \delta \theta} = R_{cb} * p_b ^ \land$$

同理

$$p_c(\delta t) = R_{cb} * R_{wb}^T * (p_w - (t_{wb} + R_{wb} * \delta t)) + t_{cb}$$ $$= p_c - R_{cb} * R_{wb}^T * R_{wb} * \delta t$$ $$= p_c - R_{cb} * \delta t$$

所以

$$\frac{\partial p_c}{\partial \delta t} = - R_{cb}$$

同理

$$\frac{\partial p_c}{\partial \delta p_w} = R_{cb} * R_{wb}^T$$

ORB-SLAM3

V1.0, December 22th, 2021

Authors: Carlos Campos, Richard Elvira, Juan J. Gómez Rodríguez, José M. M. Montiel, Juan D. Tardos.

The Changelog describes the features of each version.

ORB-SLAM3 is the first real-time SLAM library able to perform Visual, Visual-Inertial and Multi-Map SLAM with monocular, stereo and RGB-D cameras, using pin-hole and fisheye lens models. In all sensor configurations, ORB-SLAM3 is as robust as the best systems available in the literature, and significantly more accurate.

We provide examples to run ORB-SLAM3 in the EuRoC dataset using stereo or monocular, with or without IMU, and in the TUM-VI dataset using fisheye stereo or monocular, with or without IMU. Videos of some example executions can be found at ORB-SLAM3 channel.

This software is based on ORB-SLAM2 developed by Raul Mur-Artal, Juan D. Tardos, J. M. M. Montiel and Dorian Galvez-Lopez (DBoW2).

2. Prerequisites

We have tested the library in Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04, but it should be easy to compile in other platforms. A powerful computer (e.g. i7) will ensure real-time performance and provide more stable and accurate results.

C++11 or C++0x Compiler

We use the new thread and chrono functionalities of C++11.

Pangolin

We use Pangolin for visualization and user interface. Dowload and install instructions can be found at: https://github.com/stevenlovegrove/Pangolin.

OpenCV

We use OpenCV to manipulate images and features. Dowload and install instructions can be found at: http://opencv.org. Required at leat 3.0. Tested with OpenCV 3.2.0 and 4.4.0.

Eigen3

Required by g2o (see below). Download and install instructions can be found at: http://eigen.tuxfamily.org. Required at least 3.1.0.

DBoW2 and g2o (Included in Thirdparty folder)

We use modified versions of the DBoW2 library to perform place recognition and g2o library to perform non-linear optimizations. Both modified libraries (which are BSD) are included in the Thirdparty folder.

Python

Required to calculate the alignment of the trajectory with the ground truth. Required Numpy module.

ROS (optional)

We provide some examples to process input of a monocular, monocular-inertial, stereo, stereo-inertial or RGB-D camera using ROS. Building these examples is optional. These have been tested with ROS Melodic under Ubuntu 18.04.

3. Building ORB-SLAM3 library and examples

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/UZ-SLAMLab/ORB_SLAM3.git ORB_SLAM3

We provide a script build.sh to build the Thirdparty libraries and ORB-SLAM3. Please make sure you have installed all required dependencies (see section 2). Execute:

cd ORB_SLAM3
chmod +x build.sh
./build.sh

This will create libORB_SLAM3.so at lib folder and the executables in Examples folder.

4. Running ORB-SLAM3 with your camera

Directory Examples contains several demo programs and calibration files to run ORB-SLAM3 in all sensor configurations with Intel Realsense cameras T265 and D435i. The steps needed to use your own camera are:

  1. Calibrate your camera following Calibration_Tutorial.pdf and write your calibration file your_camera.yaml
  2. Modify one of the provided demos to suit your specific camera model, and build it
  3. Connect the camera to your computer using USB3 or the appropriate interface
  4. Run ORB-SLAM3. For example, for our D435i camera, we would execute:
./Examples/Stereo-Inertial/stereo_inertial_realsense_D435i Vocabulary/ORBvoc.txt ./Examples/Stereo-Inertial/RealSense_D435i.yaml

5. EuRoC Examples

EuRoC dataset was recorded with two pinhole cameras and an inertial sensor. We provide an example script to launch EuRoC sequences in all the sensor configurations.

  1. Download a sequence (ASL format) from http://projects.asl.ethz.ch/datasets/doku.php?id=kmavvisualinertialdatasets
  2. Open the script "euroc_examples.sh" in the root of the project. Change pathDatasetEuroc variable to point to the directory where the dataset has been uncompressed.
  3. Execute the following script to process all the sequences with all sensor configurations:
./euroc_examples

Evaluation

EuRoC provides ground truth for each sequence in the IMU body reference. As pure visual executions report trajectories centered in the left camera, we provide in the "evaluation" folder the transformation of the ground truth to the left camera reference. Visual-inertial trajectories use the ground truth from the dataset.

Execute the following script to process sequences and compute the RMS ATE:

./euroc_eval_examples

6. TUM-VI Examples

TUM-VI dataset was recorded with two fisheye cameras and an inertial sensor.

  1. Download a sequence from https://vision.in.tum.de/data/datasets/visual-inertial-dataset and uncompress it.
  2. Open the script "tum_vi_examples.sh" in the root of the project. Change pathDatasetTUM_VI variable to point to the directory where the dataset has been uncompressed.
  3. Execute the following script to process all the sequences with all sensor configurations:
./tum_vi_examples

Evaluation

In TUM-VI ground truth is only available in the room where all sequences start and end. As a result the error measures the drift at the end of the sequence.

Execute the following script to process sequences and compute the RMS ATE:

./tum_vi_eval_examples

7. ROS Examples

Building the nodes for mono, mono-inertial, stereo, stereo-inertial and RGB-D

Tested with ROS Melodic and ubuntu 18.04.

  1. Add the path including Examples/ROS/ORB_SLAM3 to the ROS_PACKAGE_PATH environment variable. Open .bashrc file:
  gedit ~/.bashrc

and add at the end the following line. Replace PATH by the folder where you cloned ORB_SLAM3:

  export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=${ROS_PACKAGE_PATH}:PATH/ORB_SLAM3/Examples/ROS
  1. Execute build_ros.sh script:
  chmod +x build_ros.sh
  ./build_ros.sh

Running Monocular Node

For a monocular input from topic /camera/image_raw run node ORB_SLAM3/Mono. You will need to provide the vocabulary file and a settings file. See the monocular examples above.

  rosrun ORB_SLAM3 Mono PATH_TO_VOCABULARY PATH_TO_SETTINGS_FILE

Running Monocular-Inertial Node

For a monocular input from topic /camera/image_raw and an inertial input from topic /imu, run node ORB_SLAM3/Mono_Inertial. Setting the optional third argument to true will apply CLAHE equalization to images (Mainly for TUM-VI dataset).

  rosrun ORB_SLAM3 Mono PATH_TO_VOCABULARY PATH_TO_SETTINGS_FILE [EQUALIZATION]

Running Stereo Node

For a stereo input from topic /camera/left/image_raw and /camera/right/image_raw run node ORB_SLAM3/Stereo. You will need to provide the vocabulary file and a settings file. For Pinhole camera model, if you provide rectification matrices (see Examples/Stereo/EuRoC.yaml example), the node will recitify the images online, otherwise images must be pre-rectified. For FishEye camera model, rectification is not required since system works with original images:

  rosrun ORB_SLAM3 Stereo PATH_TO_VOCABULARY PATH_TO_SETTINGS_FILE ONLINE_RECTIFICATION

Running Stereo-Inertial Node

For a stereo input from topics /camera/left/image_raw and /camera/right/image_raw, and an inertial input from topic /imu, run node ORB_SLAM3/Stereo_Inertial. You will need to provide the vocabulary file and a settings file, including rectification matrices if required in a similar way to Stereo case:

  rosrun ORB_SLAM3 Stereo_Inertial PATH_TO_VOCABULARY PATH_TO_SETTINGS_FILE ONLINE_RECTIFICATION [EQUALIZATION]

Running RGB_D Node

For an RGB-D input from topics /camera/rgb/image_raw and /camera/depth_registered/image_raw, run node ORB_SLAM3/RGBD. You will need to provide the vocabulary file and a settings file. See the RGB-D example above.

  rosrun ORB_SLAM3 RGBD PATH_TO_VOCABULARY PATH_TO_SETTINGS_FILE

Running ROS example: Download a rosbag (e.g. V1_02_medium.bag) from the EuRoC dataset (http://projects.asl.ethz.ch/datasets/doku.php?id=kmavvisualinertialdatasets). Open 3 tabs on the terminal and run the following command at each tab for a Stereo-Inertial configuration:

  roscore

  rosrun ORB_SLAM3 Stereo_Inertial Vocabulary/ORBvoc.txt Examples/Stereo-Inertial/EuRoC.yaml true

  rosbag play --pause V1_02_medium.bag /cam0/image_raw:=/camera/left/image_raw /cam1/image_raw:=/camera/right/image_raw /imu0:=/imu

Once ORB-SLAM3 has loaded the vocabulary, press space in the rosbag tab.

Remark: For rosbags from TUM-VI dataset, some play issue may appear due to chunk size. One possible solution is to rebag them with the default chunk size, for example:

  rosrun rosbag fastrebag.py dataset-room1_512_16.bag dataset-room1_512_16_small_chunks.bag

8. Running time analysis
