Integrate

Usage: stray integrate <scenes-directory> [--skip-mapping]

The integrate command is an offline mapping pipeline which takes color and depth images in the scene along with odometry information to compute poses for each image. Additionally, it will compute a global point cloud and mesh of the scene.

Inputs:

• Color images from color
• Depth images from depth
• Odometry from frames.csv
• Camera intrinsics camera_intrinsics.json

Outputs:

• Scene point cloud at scene/cloud.ply
• Scene mesh at scene/integrated.ply
• Camera trajectory at scene/trajectory.log

The scene directory follows the scene format.

Under the hood, the pipeline uses hloc on a subset of the images to compute optimized camera poses, which are then combined with the odometry data to compute a camera pose for every frame.

Example

In case you just want to test the pipeline, you can download the example scene , run the pipeline and open it in studio with the following commands:

wget https://stray-data.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/datasets/scooter.tar.gz -O scooter.tar.gz
tar -xvf scooter.tar.gz
stray integrate scooter/
stray studio scooter/

Using known camera poses

In case you already have known camera poses, as might be the case for example when using a camera mounted on a robot arm which is calibrated, you can skip the mapping part with the --skip-mapping to simply integrate the RGB-D frames into a point cloud and mesh using the poses in frames.csv.
