VIN-Fusion config with Realsense D435i

First shot


  • Copy the .launch file in package VINS-Fusion to the directory of realsense2_cameara/launch
$ cp /home/william/catkin_ws/src/VINS-Fusion/config/realsense_d435i/rs_camera.launch /home/william/catkin_ws/src/realsense-2.1.3/realsense2_camera/launch/rs_imu_camear.launch
roslaunch vins vins_rviz.launch
rosrun vins vins_node ~/catkin_ws/src/VINS-Fusion/config/realsense_d435i/realsense_stereo_imu_config.yaml
(optional) rosrun loop_fusion loop_fusion_node ~/catkin_ws/src/VINS-Fusion/config/realsense_d435i/realsense_stereo_imu_config.yaml
roslaunch realsense2_camera rs_imu_camera.launch

then error occurred

change the USB and Type-C hardware interface to another one because sometimes someone might don't work.

update the latest version Realsense SDK (2.21.0) and ROS package (2.2)


merge the rs_camera.launch in VINS-Fusion and Realsense, put it in the directory of realsense2_cameara/launch

then roslaunch realsense2_camera rs_imu_camera.launch

error

unused args [enable_imu] for include of [/home/william/catkin_ws/src/realsense-2.2/realsense2_camera/launch/includes/nodelet.launch.xml]
The traceback for the exception was written to the log file

Delete everything related to enable_imu.

Seems like the same problem. Change the USB and Type-C hardware interface to another one because sometimes someone might don't work.

Error again.

According to issues getting ros warn imu message in disorder #204 and Doubts about camera-imu temporal calibration #270
in GitHub, definitely it's the problem of unsynchroned image and imu datas.

Reduce fps of imu stream < 100 hz
