Overview

Localization is one of the fundamental problems in robotics. Visual Inertial Odometry is a set of algorithms which attempt to estimate the position and orientation of a subject using only camera(s) and an inertial measurement unit (IMU). We release the RELLIS Off-road Odometry Analysis Dataset to fill a void in available VIO datasets to provide high-quality, accurately time stamped off-road traversal data sequences for VIO researchers and developers. Across our data sequences, there is over 20,000 images, 250,000 IMU readings, and 6,000 RTK + heading measurements.

VIO Evaluation

To complement our data contribution, we have also evaluated two leading VIO implementations on our datasets, OpenVINS and VINS-Fusion. Their estimated trajectories and videos of their performances can be found below.

Kalibr Evaluation Dataset

In order to determine the efficacy of Kalibr's extrinsics calibration tool, we collected an additional 11 ROS bags of camera-IMU extrinsic calibration motion.
