Information about the axis system of the D435i's IMU can be found at the link below:
As the D435i IMU does not have internal calibration, it is recommended that a provided IMU calibration software tool is used on the IMU. This is separate from the Dynamic Calibrator software used to calibrate the non-IMU sensors of the camera.
Intel has a guidance document on performing this calibration. It relies on a six-stage calibration process of starting the calibration from the facing-forwards position and then rotating it on its sides and pointing it upwards and downwards.

If you are aiming to calibrate the D435i for the downward facing position, the advice in the link below will hopefully be helpful.

In regard to using the D435i and its IMU with ROS, Intel has published a SLAM setup guide for D435i:

Hi, this is not helpful at all. I was not asking about the axis (as I stated that the axis are known) or about the calibration. I am asking how can I convert the depth axis (IMU axis) to a regular ROS axis? From the code I found out that you are just rotating pitch and yaw by -PI/2 and when I am getting the data, I am just adding PI/2 to both pitch and yaw respectively and making yaw to be a pitch and roll to be my yaw but I think I might be doing wrong as I do not always get the desired results
The ROS wrapper documentation states the following information:
odom_frame_id defines the origin coordinate system in ROS convention (X-Forward, Y-Left, Z-Up). pose topic defines the pose relative to that system.
This case will be closed after 7 days from the time of writing this message if there are no further comments. Thanks!
Isn't odom_frame_id
for the T265 built-in tracking? This is about the coordinate system of the imu data.
@shuhaowu Thanks for your question. odom_frame_id is not a concept that is exclusive to the T265's IMU.
Hi,
I am using D435i and I am trying to get the IMU in a correct way. As I understood . IMU is based in depth frame which has different coordinate system and I spend the last 2 days to get the right orientation so whenever I put my camera in a normal position (not facing downwards) I get the correct yaw. I tried to use Roll from the camera as Yaw (as if the camera is facing down the roll position is becoming Yaw position when the camera is facing forward) but no luck.
Can you guys tell me what do I need to do to use IMU from the camera?
Here is my launch file (note that the whole TF of realsense is attached to
camera_link
which has no rotation):
