Edge Alignment - CERES

Reimplementation of edge alignment [1] using CERES solver. Look at the folder standalone for an easy to understand standalone implementation (abeit inefficient).

Required Packages

  • Eigen3
  • CERES
  • OpenCV
  • ROS

Sample Alignment

Note

This repo was an attempt for me to have a standalone implementation of edge alignment. A basic standalone implementation can be accessed in the folder standalone. It is not the most efficient implementation, but it works. It uses Ceres's cubic_interpolation. Contributions welcome!

I believe, Yongyen https://github.com/ygling2008/direct_edge_imu in his repo had fixed it and is usable. You are better off trying to run his code. The paper relating to yongyen's work is:
[3] Yonggen Ling, Manohar Kuse, and Shaojie Shen, “Direct Edge Alignment-Based Visual-Inertial Fusion for Tracking of Aggressive Motions“, submitted in Springer Autonomous Robots.

You may look at https://kusemanohar.wordpress.com/2015/09/14/icra2015-submission/ for more resources on this project.

If you are keen on using this, I suggest you implement the gradient decent yourself for this. Once you have a point cloud it is really not that hard.
