Dependency

  1. Pangolin.
  2. CUDA.
  3. Ceres-solver.
  4. PCL, the default version accompanying by ROS.
  5. OpenCV, the default version accompanying by ROS.

Build

  1. git submodule update --init --recursive
  2. mkdir build && cd build
  3. cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
  4. make -j8

Example

The sample config file can be downloaded from this link.

To run the example:

[path_to_build]/src/dsl_main --path "[path_to_dataset]/left_pinhole"

Preparing Your Own Data

  1. Collect LiDAR and camera data.
  2. Build LiDAR map and obtain LiDAR poses (the poses are not necessary).
  3. Pre-process LiDAR map to make the [path_to_dataset]/*.pcd map file contains normal_x, normal_y, normal_z fields (downsample & normal estimation).
  4. Extract and undistort images into [path_to_dataset]/images.
  5. Set the first camera pose to initial_pose and other camera parameters in [path_to_dataset]/config.yaml.

Note

This implementation of DSL takes Ceres Solver as backend, which is different from the the implementation of the original paper with DSO-backend. This leads to different performance, i.e., speed and accuracy, compared to the reported results.

Credits

This work is inspired from several open-source projects, such as DSO, DSM, Elastic-Fusion, SuperPoint, DBoW2, NetVlad, LIO-mapping and etc.

    How to build surfel map

    Hi, I'm reading your code these days, it's a brilliant work. And I try to run the code on the KITTI dataset, but I failed. I'm wondering how to build a surfel map from a Lidar PointCloud map? And what value you set about surfel_size when you tested the code on the outside scene? Thanks !
