Kalibir and Proper Acceleration from the IMU #646

Closed geoeo closed 1 year ago

Hello,

For calibrating and I guess in general in VI state estimation. When I have IMU measurements which are in the "proper acceleration" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerometer) frame, do I need to invert these measurements does Kalibir account for this?

I think by setting the gravity to positive +9.81 the algorithm essentially works in this space
