Overview

What it does: Robotheca's summary

  • Works with several camera models, including perspective, fisheye and equirectangular, and custom models can be added.
  • Created maps can be stored, loaded, and used to localize new images against a prebuilt map.
  • The system is modular, with its functions split into separate components that expose simple APIs.
  • Code snippets in the example directory show the core functionality, with documentation covering installation and tutorials.
  • Development focuses on refactoring, performance tuning, tests, marker integration, Python bindings and IMU integration.
  • A ROS wrapper is maintained in a separate repository.
