If you haven’t, please check out the previous article on how to formulate SLAM as an optimization problem Why Graph Optimization Frontend and Backend: the front end gives the transform from one f...

RGBD SLAM - Bundle Adjustment From Zero To Hero, Part 1, Theories

RGBD SLAM Backend Introduction

What is Optimization? \[\begin{gather*} min F(x) \end{gather*}\] Above is an optimization problem. Any optimization needs: a cost function, target variables, and constraints. In SLAM, most proble...

RGBD SLAM - The PnP Problem

Solving the PnP problem - turning pixels into 3D positions!

Intro The Perspective-n-Point (PnP) problem is a very important technique in RGBD SLAM. In RGBD SLAM, it’s quite common to see PnP as a front end , and bundle adjustment as the backend. In 2D-2D M...
