  • Where to hire Jetson developers?

    I've ported https://github.com/ethz-asl/maplab/releases/tag/1.3 to the TK-1 and have some OpenCV experience with the Jetson family but no specific camera driver experience. Are you looking for a long term hire or just this effort?

    I haven't had a chance to look at the data in detail, but I assume you're talking about the flip-flopping of some clouds from one of the ANYmals? We use a centralized mapping framework called MapLab which tries to optimally align the maps of all robots and generate a single consistent map. Map optimization is totally out of my domain, but I suspect a few bad constraints caused the optimization to oscillate between two local minima. It gave the operator a heart attack at the time, but its a fairly common occurrence before the process is complete, and fortunately it all got worked out.

    Hi everyone, I am trying to implement a VSLAM with DNN specifically the Feature Extraction module in the SLAM pipeline. Something on the lines of this repo Superpoint_SLAM , which integrates SuperPoint Feature extraction into ORB_SLAM2

    As you've mentioned, there are many papers on deep local feature extraction, like SuperPoint and R2D2. If you wish to use them in SLAM, you can simply replace the feature extraction module in the existing SLAM system with the deep local feature method. An example is shown here - this system uses SuperPoint as local features instead of ORB features in the original ORB-SLAM 2 pipeline. https://github.com/KinglittleQ/SuperPoint_SLAM
