SPA algorithm on a large dataset,
with 3755 nodes and 7352 constraints. The first segment is an
incremental method showing fast realtime performance: the nodes are
pulled sequentially from a file and optimized incrementally. The
system slows down at the end because of the drawing, not the
optimization.
The second segment is batch
mode, with all nodes initialized from odometry - the red lines show
cross-constraints that are highly stressed. The final segment
shows SPA again in
batch mode, with all the nodes at the origin, and with their
orientation derived from odometry; successive iterations of SPA move
the graph to its final position.

Autonomous navigation experiment. Although the shortest
obstacle-free path from the start to the goal position led over
grass, the robot could reliably avoid the vegetated areas by using
our vegetation classifier and traveled over the paved streets to
reach its goal. Download video: MS Mpeg 4v2 (4.5 MB) |
