Documentation for this package can be found at https://python-graphslam.readthedocs.io/.
This package implements a Graph SLAM solver in Python.
- Optimize \mathbb{R}^2, \mathbb{R}^3, SE(2), and SE(3) datasets
- Analytic Jacobians
- Supports odometry edges
- Import and export .g2o files for SE(2) and SE(3) datasets
pip install graphslam
>>> from graphslam.load import load_g2o_se3
>>> g = load_g2o_se3("data/parking-garage.g2o") # https://lucacarlone.mit.edu/datasets/
>>> g.plot(vertex_markersize=1)
>>> g.calc_chi2()
16720.020602489112
>>> g.optimize()
>>> g.plot(vertex_markersize=1)
Output:
Iteration chi^2 rel. change --------- ----- ----------- 0 16720.0206 1 26.5495 -0.998412 2 1.2712 -0.952119 3 1.2402 -0.024439 4 1.2396 -0.000456 5 1.2395 -0.000091
