From Hans Kumar to Everyone: 10:13 AM Hi Great Talk! I always have trouble picking the delta parameter for the RPE metric. Any intuition on how to pick this?
- Normally this is tied to what you want “to look at”. For example, a short length of a meter might be enough if you just care about odometry accuracy while longer lengths can evaluate the long-term performance. Generally speaking the max length should be much smaller than the total trajectory length since one would want to get multiple samples of the same length over the whole trajectory.
- Generally, what one cares about is the “trend” in the RPE. Is the algorithm always better at all lengths? For loop-closure methods is the RPE the same over all segment lengths? What is the expected accuracy if the robot travels a given distance?
From Ran Cheng to Everyone: 10:14 AM can we use deep nets on vison to do initialization and complementary of the missing Do for of imu. for example we can always estimate the opposite of gravity direction by a rgb
