Visual SLAM (GPS-denied)
Real-time stereo + IMU SLAM for indoor and drone navigation.
Lab runtime / NavigationOK / VIS-01
Visual SLAM (GPS-denied) runs against the same observable edge stack used for testing and deployment.
This entry has an implementation in openbrain-ros. Review its README, tests, and hardware requirements before use.
About this demo
Tightly-coupled visual-inertial SLAM using both RealSense streams plus the onboard IMU. Suitable for GPS-denied environments — basements, warehouses, drones flying indoors. Inspired by Andrew Bernas's GPS-denied drone build.
Highlights
- →Stereo + IMU tightly coupled
- →Loop closure on revisits
- →Drift <0.5% over 1 km
- →Works on Mini at full rate
