Regd. IMU parameters used for the Blackbird dataset #1

Open karnikram opened 4 years ago

karnikram commented 4 years ago

Hi,

Thank you for releasing your code.

I've been trying to run VINS-Mono and your code on the Blackbird dataset. But there seems to be a problem with the IMU intrinsic values and the camera-IMU transform used in your config file. These values don't match what is given in their dataset (and in their IJRR paper), and when I run VINS-Mono using these values it keeps failing.

Values reported in their dataset:

T_imu_cam: [1.0, 0.0, 0.0, -0.05,
0.0, 0.0, -1.0, 0.0,
0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0,
0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0]

IMU.NoiseGyro: 1.2e-4 
IMU.NoiseAcc: 2.0e-3
IMU.GyroWalk: 4.7e-6 
IMU.AccWalk: 4.4e-5

Values in your config file:

T_imu_cam: [0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0,
-1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0,
0.0, -1.0, 0.0, 0,0,
0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0]

IMU.NoiseGyro: 0.1 
IMU.NoiseAcc: 0.3
IMU.GyroWalk: 0.003
IMU.AccWalk: 0.001

Am I missing something?

Hi @karnikram

were you able to run VINS-Mono the blackbird dataset using vimo? I am also seeing VINS-Mono fail on both star and picasso trajectories. The program outputs:

W0913 18:03:22.341883 22439 levenberg_marquardt_strategy.cc:114] Linear solver failure. Failed to compute a step: Eigen failure. Unable to perform dense Cholesky factorization.

Hi @juanmed,

Yes, I am able to run VINS-Mono on blackbird sequences. I've attached my config file here. The extrinsics and IMU parameters are obtained from the blackbird dataset repo, and are different from what is provided in this repo. I also throttled the image rate of blackbird from 120 Hz to 30 Hz.

juanmed commented 4 years ago

@karnikram Great news, thanks for sharing your config file! I will try it out.

amirmoeini commented 3 years ago

Hi @karnikram

Thanks for sharing the file. Can you please share some information on how the image rate of blackbird dataset can be changed? Thanks,

karnikram commented 3 years ago

Using the throttle node from the topic_tools package in ROS. If you're using a launch file, just add the following node element to it

<node name="throttle" pkg="topic_tools" type="throttle" args="messages /imu 100 /imu_throttled" />

HI,i use the code but :catkin_make has a problem as follows: /home/shraouqiu/VIMO_WS/src/vimo/vimo_estimator/src/estimator.h:13:10: fatal error: blackbird/MotorRPM.h: No such file or directory

include <blackbird/MotorRPM.h>

Probably you cloned the master branch of the repository instead of the blackbird branch.

by the way，do you know which dataset I should download？，.Is it this http://blackbird-dataset.mit.edu/BlackbirdDatasetData/star/yawConstant/maxSpeed1p0/rosbag.bag？But I can’t find the package star_maxSpeed1p0_images.bag

try this code git clone https://github.com/uzh-rpg/vimo.git -b blackbird instead of git clone https://github.com/uzh-rpg/vimo.git and see what happens.

The blackbird dataset are not as a bag file. you need first to install docker and use the code in https://github.com/mit-fast/Blackbird-Dataset/tree/f4667341c99869c7dc2d1176a8afc5d432dc403a to replay the datasets. There is problem in their instruction right now. however the following set of commands works for me (after installing docker)

HOST_STORAGE_DIR="$HOME/blackbirdDatasetData" BB_DATA_DIR="/root/blackbirdDatasetData"

docker pull winterg/flightgoggles_ros:ijrr

sudo docker run -it --rm --net=host\ -v "$HOST_STORAGE_DIR":"$BB_DATA_DIR" \ -p 10253-10263:10253-10263 \ winterg/flightgoggles_ros:ijrr \ /bin/bash

apt-get -y install nano

cd blackbirdDatasetTools/fileTreeUtilities/

nano sequenceDownloader.py

then change (you have to do this as the link is not updated in winterg/flightgoggles_ros:ijrr) serverAddress = "ijrr-blackbird-dataset.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/BlackbirdDatasetData" to serverAddress = "ijrr20-blackbird-dataset.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/BlackbirdDatasetData" and save

FLIGHT="star/yawForward/maxSpeed1p0" ENVIRONMENT="NYC_Subway_Station" $BB_TOOLS_DIR/fileTreeUtilities/sequenceDownloader.py --flight=$FLIGHT --environment=$ENVIRONMENT --datasetFolder=$BB_DATA_DIR

roslaunch blackbird playback_sequence.launch \ flight:=$FLIGHT \ environment:=$ENVIRONMENT \

datasetDir:=$BB_DATA_DIR

hope this also works for you.

HEELO！I wish to consult you on 2 questions. NO.1: When i execute "$BB_TOOLS_DIR/fileTreeUtilities/sequenceDownloader.py --flight=$FLIGHT --environment=$ENVIRONMENT --datasetFolder=$BB_DATA_DIR",there was a problem as follow.

HI! I've used catkin_ make built VIMO successfully. However, blackbird dataset has only rosbag.bag but no star_maxSpeed1p0.bag and star_maxSpeed1p0_images.bag. What should i do at this step?(rosbag play YOUR_PATH_TO_DATASET/star_maxSpeed1p0.bag YOUR_PATH_TO_DATASET/star_maxSpeed1p0_images.bag )

Hi, I met the same problem as yours. Could you run vimo without dynamics on blackbird?

Best regards
