Confusing about Trajectory Evaluation Function evaluate_ate #123

Open saulgooodman opened 4 months ago

Hello, your work is really impressive. I find it confusing reading the trajectory evaluation function eval_ate. Within the eval_helpers.py file, the evaluation function def evaluate_ate(gt_traj, est_traj) is intended to return the mean Absolute Trajectory Error (ATE-mean), yet the output is ultimately utilized as the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of ATE. Could you elucidate on this? Thank you very much!" image

Hi, Thanks for your interest!

The ATE is the mean RMSE between the predicted and ground-truth poses.
