KITTI map same but differnt oientation when plotted

Hi, Thanks for this awesome project. Really helped me a lot.

I had a question, rather a bug that I am not able to solve.

I used groundtruth ktti poses and converted it to tum format. Further, I used cartogrpaher to run SLAM on a sequence 005(2011_09_30 - 0018). I have to calcualte the error between both the poses for my research.

However when I plot both the pose maps, they have different orientation, although the overall structure is the same. Here is the glimpse of the same.

I am not able to align it, which is required for finding ate/rpe between the poses.

The trajectory txt required to plot this image is as followd: kitti05.txt & kitti_2011_09_30_drive_0018_synced.bag.txt

It woulbe great if someone could throw light on this and help me figure out the correct way to aligb both the trajectories.

Hi, I had one more issue.

Currently both the files The trajectory txt required to plot this image is as followd: kitti05.txt & kitti_2011_09_30_drive_0018_synced.bag.txt cannot be used for calcualting ate/rpe because they are in different planes.

How do I convert the kitti_2011_09_30_drive_0018_synced.bag.txt file in the same plane ane then evaluate ape/rpe numbers..

I understand that visulaization is in the same plane. But currently the data in files are in diffrent planes. Request your urgent help on this.

Thanks in advance.

Hi I wanted to know that how did you come up with this time t_offset value in the above error.

Hi I wanted to know that how did you come up with this time t_offset value in the above error.

The time stamp of the first data of kitti05.txt is 0.00000000000000000e+00, and the time stamp of the first data of kitti_2011_09_30_drive_0018_synced.bag.txt is 1317363879.336294. Use --t_offset +1317363879.336294 to align the time stamps on both sides

you can try to convert its xyz axis using python and import pandas
