Miscellaneous Spectacular AI data scripts

Intended for use with Spectacular AI SDK or, in general, with data stored in the Spectacular AI data format (see here for more info).

Instructions: Kalibr-based calibration scripts

NOTE: these calibration tools are no-longer maintained, please use the Spectacular AI Calibration Tool instead

Calibration using Docker

./docker_calibrate.sh /path/to/vio_recording SIZE_OF_APRILTAG_IN_METERS

In the above, /path/to/vio_recording should be a folder that contains data in the format recorded by Spectacular AI SDK (for example this program). The second parameter, the AprilTag size, is easiest to calculate by measuring the size of the AprilGrid as instructed here and dividing the result by 8.1.

Non-dockerized setup

Usage: see ./calibrate.sh. Outputs are written to the tmp subfolder (parameters.txt in camera_calibration_raw)

Dependencies

• Python (virtualenv recommended): pip install PyYAML allantools matplotlib
• Docker sudo apt install docker.io (for the Kalibr image)
