Questions about the meaning of IMU variables #106

Open aegai3222 opened 2 weeks ago

aegai3222 commented 2 weeks ago

I would like to ask what is the meaning of imu configuration in sensor configuration.

Is imu_int_noise for accelerometer_random_walk and imu_bias_noise for gyroscope_random_walk?

imu_int_noise models the IMU integration noise over time and corresponds to gtsam::PreintegrationParams::setIntegrationCovariance.

imu_bias_noise models the random walk of IMU bias. Setting a small value to it means assuming the IMU bias is more stably change over time.
