Question about start times and RPY of ground-truth
Hello, thank you for this dataset.
I've been trying to test this dataset on multi-robot SLAM systems outside of Kimera-Multi, and I had some questions about the dataset:
- After performing trajectory alignment with the ground-truth, should that result have its Roll angle adjusted by 90 degrees? From another issue, one of the author does confirm it's about 90 degrees, but I noticed it depends on the robot, and sometimes I also have to subtract 270 degrees from the yaw to get accurate results. Adjusting this significantly affects the RPE performance.
- Is it okay to fast forward times in the bag files? I noticed, especially for 1208 campus hybrid, the robots stay still for a long time at the beginning and end and I was wondering if these were necessary? For example, I'm trying to use ORB-SLAM3 as one of the front-ends in a multi-robot setup and it's recommended to have IMU excitation in the beginning frames.
- Considering this is a very large dataset, do you think there would be communication bandwidths issues for centralized systems? I noticed experiments with individual robots can get good results, but with all 8 (on 1208 for example) some of the trajectories aren't so good, so I was thinking of running sequentially.
Thank you
