Folder isam contains the modified isam library to optimize pose graphs. There are pre-compiled executable file isam is under the bin folder To compile from source, following the commands on ubuntu: cd isam mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. make Fore more details about the library, refer to readme file under isam folder.
To generate simulated dataset, run generateSimData.m. Ground truth objects are randomly generated. Click in the figure to generate the ground truth trajectory, make sure there are enough loop closures. When finished, press enter button on the keyboard.
To run the algorithm and compared algorithms, run main_simulation.m
