Vertigo is a C++ extension for g2o and gtam. It provides an implementation of
switchable constraints and enables g2o and gtsam to solve pose graph SLAM problems
despite the presence of false positive loop closure constraints.

Long Description Vertigo is an extension library for g2o [1] and gtsam 2.0 [5]. It provides a C++ implementation of the switchable constraints described in [2,3]. This extension enables g2o or gtsam to solve pose graph SLAM problems in 2D and 3D despite a large number of false positive loop closure constraints. In addition, a re-implementation of the max-mixture model described in [4] for g2o is also contained. Furthermore, Vertigo contains a number of standard pose graph SLAM datasets and a script to spoil them with false positive loop closure constraints. These datasets have been used in the evaluations [2] and [3]. They can serve as a set of benchmark datasets for future developments in robust pose graph SLAM. Have fun, I hope this is useful. Hopefully, more stuff will be added to Vertigo in the future. Any comments, thoughts and patches are welcome and largely appreciated. | |
