Installation

Please follow the instructions below to install the repo and dependencies.

mkdir catkin_ws && cd catkin_ws
mkdir src && cd src
git clone https://github.com/YunxuanMao/ngel_slam.git
cd ..
catkin_make

See orb-slam3-ros for more detail.

Install the environment

conda create -n ngel python=3.8
conda activate ngel

pip install torch==1.10.1+cu113 torchvision==0.11.2+cu113 torchaudio==0.10.1 -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu113/torch_stable.html

pip install -r requirements.txt

cd yx_kaolin
python setup.py develop

What's more, kaolin-wisp should be installed.

Data Preparation

You should put your data in data folder follow NICE-SLAM and generate a rosbag for ORB-SLAM3

python write_bag.py --input_folder '{PATH_TO_INPUT_FOLDER}' --output '{PATH_TO_ROSBAG}' --frame_id 'FRAME_ID_TO_DATA'

You should change the intrinsics manually in write_bag.py.

Run

You should first start the ORB-SLAM3-ROS, and then using code below

python main.py --config '{PATH_TO_CONFIG}'  --input_folder '{PATH_TO_INPUT_FOLDER}' --output '{PATH_TO_OUTPUT}'
