MAVSlam - Visual odometry & SLAM for PX4

Onboard visual odometry for PX4

(Deprecated)

Integrate Intel® RealSense™ R200 depth camera as an oboard visual input source for PX4 using the UP-Board as companion:

• Estimate position and speed based on stereo depth images up to 60 fps for LPE /EKF2
• Stream video to MAVGCL with overlays
• Feature-based or depth obstacle detection
• Integration with PX4 via MAVLink (MAVComm required)

Prerequisites:

• UP-Board running Ubilinux 3.0 with Java 8 (minimum) stack connected via serial link to PX4 controller
• Intel® RealSense™ R200 (connected with external power supply)
