Our new sensor technology is based on visual-inertial data fusion. The VI sensor is a dedicated hardware plattform that enables to implement state of the art visual odometry pipelines. The factory-calibrated sensor outputs streams of precisely time-synchronized IMU data and stereo camera images. In addition, the user-accessible onboard computing units can be used to directly compute and output the feature stream from these measurements.
The VI sensor hardware thus allows to readily implement computer vision and localization algorithms for applications like 3D mapping or navigation in mobile robotics.
