Spectacular AI

GPS-free visual-inertial navigation in real time on Raspberry Pi 5 with a consumer-grade IMU and camera. The VPS features in the Spectacular AI SDK have been significantly optimized, allowing full VIO+VPS operation on embedded CPUs like Rasberry Pi 5. Features of the new SDK 1.38 include: ⭐ ONNX-based VPS acceleration: allows full VIO+VPS operation even on Cortex A53s (that is, significantly slower CPUs than Raspberry Pi 4 & 5) ⭐ Built-in IMU-camera calibration Python tool, based on our fork of Basalt (separate post to follow) #gpsfree #sensorfusion #computervision

Aircraft navigation without GPS. We are extending our product line with an absolute positioning component, VPS, designed for aerial use cases (including UAV navigation). First demonstration: Our Visual-Inertial Positioning System can maintain 40m positioning accuracy (CEP) for 50 kilometers using only a single camera, consumer-grade IMU and a barometer! Stay tuned for further updates... #vio #sensorfusion #computervision #vps #uav

Our latest research paper, Gaussian Splatting on the Move, has been accepted to the top-tier computer vision conference, #ECCV2024 🔥 The (updated) method enables crisp #gaussiansplatting 3D reconstructions from blurry and wobbly hand-held smartphone captures, and outperforms previous state-of-the-art #NERF-based methods (such as BAD-NeRF).

GPS-free drone navigation with < 1% drift This video demonstrates VIO tracking with two different camera devices: 1) Spectacular AI reference HW design (version 1) with two global shutter stereo cameras. 2) RTK-VINS prototype device (Kindhelm) with monocular fisheye rolling shutter camera setup. Both cases also fuse barometric altitude data with VIO. GPS is only shown for reference and no loop closures are used. The total accumulated drift is below 0.6% in both cases, when computed with optimal 4-DoF trjaectory alignment. #computervision #drone #sensorfusion #gnss

GPS-free drone navigation using the Spectacular AI SDK and our standalone reference hardware design. The payload on the drone is an example of a high-accuracy VIO system built using low-cost, mostly off-the-shelf, components. It can track the position and orientation of the drone in real-time using only consumer-grade cameras and IMU, running on embedded hardware, in this case, the Jetson Xavier NX ARM CPUs, without consuming any GPU resources. The SDK can also be integrated into external positioning systems such as visual positioning based on aerial or satellite image data. #sensorfusion #computervision #gnss #drone
