Visual Odometry with the zed stereo camera

less than 1 minute read

Published:

This tutorial briefly describes the ZED Stereo Camera and the concept of Visual Odometry. It also provides a step-by-step guide for installing all required dependencies to get the camera and visual odometry up and running. Lastly, it offers a glimpse of 3D Mapping using the RTAB-Map visual SLAM algorithm.
