I am really impressed by how easy Spectacular AI makes visual-inertial odometry with an OAK camera.
Just "pip install spectacularAI" and run a Python script. Running VIO/SLAM used to be much harder in my opinion.

Easiest way to calibrate a camera on Linux. No ROS, no Docker, no CMake. Just @FFmpeg and Spectacular AI command line tool installable via Python pip:
sudo apt install ffmpeg
pip install spectacularAI[full]
sai-cli calibrate your-data.mkv

Features of the new Spectacular AI SDK 1.38 include:
⭐ ONNX-based VPS acceleration: allows full VIO VPS operation even on Cortex A53s
⭐ Built-in IMU-camera calibration Python tool, based on our fork of Basalt (separate post to follow)

In the 3rd flight test, we basically duct-taped a smartphone to a Cessna to highlight that our GPS-free Visual-Inertial Positioning runs on consumer-grade sensors (32 m CEP positioning accuracy over 55 kilometers, only using phone camera, IMU and barometer)

As shown in the video, we actually had to use two smartphones to manage the engine vibration noise: one in the cockpit and another below the plane. This was an offline demo, but a typical mobile phone processor is also powerful enough to run the method in real time

Sensors: This demonstration used a MEMS IMU (cost < $5), which was inside the cockpit to reduce vibration noise from the engine, and a consumer-grade barometer. The performance in this test was limited by insufficient noise isolation in the camera.

The software in this test consists of two main components: 1) Visual-Inertial Odometry (VIO), which is already available in our commercial SDK.
2) and a new Visual Positioning System (VPS) component, which uses the reference map. This component is not a part of our standard SDK.
