Can rovio be used in real time 6DOF pose estimate? #216

Closed mechaliomar closed 5 years ago

mechaliomar commented 5 years ago

Hello, 🙂 Thanks for this great code. I would like to work on path planning in real time, so I need real time 6DOF pose estimate for the uav. -So, I would like to know if this cute tool 'rovio' could be used for real time estimate ( as the uav is moving), -In which frame does Mr 'rovio' give us the pose estimate?

Thanks a lot Best regards

@mechaliomar Have you gone through the papers available in the readme?

a) Yes. b) Per default, the frame is initialized in the position you start rovio,

Please read the papers, wikis and readmes. There is a lot of material about visual-inertial state estimation out there. You will need a good IMU that is hardware synchronized to a global shutter camera.
