I am really impressed by how easy Spectacular AI makes visual-inertial odometry with an OAK camera. Just "pip install spectacularAI" and run a Python script. Running VIO/SLAM used to be much harder in my opinion.

Really impressive! Perfect for drones

I'm actually researching monocular SLAM right now. I want to run in real-time from a drone video stream.

You can try the spectacularAI package if you have an OAK camera, very easy to run

Crazy how much simpler it’s getting did you tweak anything, or just ran it as is?

Plug the camera and run it. Because they already have support for these cameras:

spectacular ai doesn't work on arm , hence useless for embedded applications, also it's a proprietary sdk, u can do vio slam with native depthai sdk

This looks so good

Yeah, the pip install + script approach really simplifies VIO/SLAM with OAK. Huge improvement!

How's their depth quality?

It is active vision using IR. So the depth quality is not that great. The plan is to get depth from FoundationStereo

curious how your experience was with different cameras; I saw you have been trying OAK and other brands in previous posts.

I am trying to find a RGB-D/stereo camera for ego-centric data. So far, I decided to use OAK-D Pro W for its wider FOV. Overall, ZED and OAK cameras have more options.

Curious, can it work on a monocular video?

Yes, it can be used with one camera

@OpenRoboticsOrg Wow interesting, am trying to imagine a the applicants.

Would be cool for 360 cams

the gap between "theoretically possible" and "actually usable by normal humans" is where most good tools die. nice to see one that made it across

sounds super cool, i love when tech gets easier to use

How's position track quality, and drift performance? using the native free spectacular AI pack?

Looks pretty good to me

Nice, Thanks !

How fast the odometry data can output with the camera?

Does it support ZED cameras? I'm a big fan of ZED 2i

wow

can we use T265 with Spectacular AI libs?

I'm impressed; Spectacular AI's visual-inertial odometry is easy with an OAK camera.
