Part 1. Requirements

This code was tested with Python 3.6, CUDA 10.0, Ubuntu 16.04, and PyTorch-1.0.

We suggest use Anaconda for installing the prerequisites.

cd envs
conda env create -f min_requirements.yml -p {ANACONDA_DIR/envs/topo_slam} # install prerequisites
conda activate topo_slam  # activate the environment [topo_slam]

Part 2. Download dataset and models

The main dataset used in this project is KITTI Driving Dataset. After downloaing the dataset, create a softlink in the current repo.

ln -s KITTI_ODOMETRY/sequences dataset/kitti_odom/odom_data

For our trained models, please visit here to download the models and save the models into the directory model_zoo/.

Part 3. Run example

# run default kitti setup
python main.py -d options/examples/default.yml  -r data/kitti_odom

More configuration examples can be found in configuration examples.

The result (trajectory pose file) is saved in result_dir defined in the configuration file. Please check Configuration Documentation for reference.

Part 4. Result evaluation

Please check here for evaluating the result.
