We should at least know about existing code before redoing work or missing to integrate useful bits.
Currently we've got:
- Paul's implementation of a simple convex hull algorithm + an amendment to alternate between two estimators over time and always reset the other to handle long term clock drift (thanks to @pfmark).
- the TimeSyncEKF. Can that go open source?
@burrimi , you seemed to know what has been done so far. Can you (or somebody else) point me to existing code? E.g. that batch approach.
Open-sourc-ability can be considered in a second step.
Also, does somebody know why the TimeSyncEKF is called EKF? To me it looks much more like a normal linear KF.
The least squares approach is implemented here: https://github.com/ethz-asl/asctec_communication_interface/blob/master/src/lib/simple_time_synchronizer.cpp I'm not 100% if everything is correct though and we should double check the implementation if we also implement it here. I agree with @HannesSommer that we should call it KF and it's ok for me to open-source.
