Kimera

Kimera is a C++ library for real-time metric-semantic simultaneous localization and mapping, which uses camera images and inertial data to build a semantically annotated 3D mesh of the environment. Kimera is modular, ROS-enabled, and runs on a CPU.

Kimera comprises four modules:

• A fast and accurate Visual Inertial Odometry (VIO) pipeline (Kimera-VIO)
• A full SLAM implementation based on Robust Pose Graph Optimization (Kimera-RPGO)
• A per-frame and multi-frame 3D mesh generator (Kimera-Mesher)
• And a generator of semantically annotated 3D meshes (Kimera-Semantics)

Click on the following links to install Kimera's modules and get started! It is very easy to install!
