slambook-en VS ORB_SLAM3

Looking at code repos is not an effective way to learn in my opinion. I highly recommend this open text book that has practical explained and many code examples https://github.com/gaoxiang12/slambook-en

According to a popular slam book(https://github.com/gaoxiang12/slambook-en/blob/master/slambook-en.pdf) this has to do with solving the Hx=g with schur trick and how row operations induce some implicit constraints during the marginalization step ( pg 211~213). However, I don't think I am getting the full picture here.

Hi, I work on a tangentially related topic and the best resource I've found so far is this book: https://github.com/gaoxiang12/slambook-en/blob/master/slambook-en.pdf. I went through some chapters only, but everything seems to be explained clearly and with code examples. Hope this helps!

I am trying to understand the Lie algebra for robotics and reading up this: https://github.com/gaoxiang12/slambook-en/blob/master/slambook-en.pdf

If you're wanting to learn how all this stuff works I highly recommend this open source book: https://github.com/gaoxiang12/slambook-en

Hey! I was in your shoes a couple months ago! The YouTube video that the_remainder posted is how I wrapped my mind around lie algebra, but in order for me to be able to use it effectively took going through the relevant chapter in the slambook (https://github.com/gaoxiang12/slambook-en)

Great book to learn slam https://github.com/gaoxiang12/slambook-en

https://github.com/gaoxiang12/slambook-en I would recommend this.

Thank you for the recommendation. Other's I've talked to have also mentioned slam. I think I might use this repo that looks promising: https://github.com/UZ-SLAMLab/ORB_SLAM3

https://github.com/UZ-SLAMLab/ORB_SLAM3 looks promising. Thank you for the recommendation!

ORB_SLAM3 on GitHub: https://github.com/UZ-SLAMLab/ORB_SLAM3

Yeah pretty much. I'd say it can still be useful if your custom application only needs one or two new modules and can otherwise be formed from existing code. It's great if you make a lot of different systems with similar sub-modules. The bigger research institutions also open source a lot of their code with ROS integrations, so you can just drop in state of the art modules where appropriate. e.g. OrbSlam3,

You could try your luck with OrbSLAM3 or Kimera, they're pretty close to state of the art and open source. Might have a bit of a learning curve though.

I hear good things about stereo-visual + inertial and OrbSlam3 seems pretty hot, but this is a couple years old now and I'm not active enough in the field to give a definitive opinion.

I'm currently in the planning stage of building an indoor autonomous MAV/drone. Up until this point I thought this would require a SLAM solution, such as ORB-SLAM3, but now I see this framework by Intel which doesn't mention SLAM anywhere. All of the literature seems to be about SLAM so maybe I just don't know the terminology for what I'm looking for.
