Effect of the calibration procedure in a SLAM pipeline

Easy Depth calibration (aka Depth Calibration for Dumies) is a complete software package for calibrating any Depth sensor (in particular RGBD cameras, such as Kinext, Xtion, etc.) with a very simple and easy-to-execute procedure. Moreover, we provide a validation procedure using a mobile robot and a 2D laser scanner. This procedure is optional with respect to the calibration, but it is useful as a performance metric for assessing the quality of the calibration.

This web site is divided in the following sections:

• • Hardware: describes the types of sensors that can be calibrated and the hardware needed for the validation procedure.

  • Software: describes how to download and build the software needed for calibration.

  • Data sets: includes several data sets that can be used to test the software.

  • Calibration Procedure: describes the calibration procedure

  • Experiments: shows the results of some experiments performed.
