VINS-GPS-Wheel
Visual-Inertial Odometry Coupled with Wheel Encoder and GNSS
This repo couples wheel encoder data and GPS data on the basis of VINS_Mono. The project is tested on KAIST dataset and is suitable for automatic driving scenario.

Detailed derivations can be found in: https://blog.csdn.net/ewtewtewrt/article/details/117249295 The method has tested in KAIST dataset (urban28-pankyo) video
Install
1. Prerequisites
1.1 Ubuntu and ROS
Ubuntu 16.04. ROS Kinetic. ROS Installation additional ROS pacakge
sudo apt-get install ros-YOUR_DISTRO-cv-bridge ros-YOUR_DISTRO-tf ros-YOUR_DISTRO-message-filters ros-YOUR_DISTRO-image-transport
1.2 Dependencies
Follow Ceres Installation, remember to make install. (Our testing environment: Ubuntu 16.04, ROS Kinetic, OpenCV 3.1.0, Eigen 3.3.7)
2. Build VINS-Mono on ROS
Clone the repository and catkin_make:
cd ~/catkin_ws/src
git clone https://github.com/Wallong/VINS-GPS-Wheel.git
cd ..
catkin_make
source ~/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash
3. Dataset
The method is tested on KAIST dataset. https://irap.kaist.ac.kr/dataset/
4. Example
Open four terminals, launch the vins_estimator, rviz and pubish the data file respectively. Take urban28-pankyo for example
roslaunch vins_estimator kaist.launch
rosrun multisensor_fusion multisensor_fusion_node (optional, for GPS)
rosrun vins_estimator kaist_pub YOUR_PATH_TO_DATASET/KAIST/urban28/urban28-pankyo
roslaunch vins_estimator vins_rviz.launch
