viso2
A ROS wrapper for libviso2, enabling visual odometry for monocular and omnidirectional camera systems in robotics.
What is viso2?
viso2 is a ROS wrapper for the libviso2 library, enabling visual odometry for robotic systems. It processes camera images to estimate a robot's motion and position without relying on wheel encoders or GPS, using either standard monocular or omnidirectional cameras. This is particularly useful in GPS-denied environments or for platforms where traditional odometry is unreliable.
Robotics researchers and engineers working on autonomous navigation, especially those using ROS and needing visual-based motion estimation for drones, ground robots, or other mobile platforms.
It provides a ready-to-use ROS integration of a proven visual odometry library, with added support for omnidirectional cameras—offering flexibility and accuracy where standard perspective cameras fall short. The included benchmarking tools help validate performance against ground truth data.
