Documentation for this package can be found at https://python-graphslam.readthedocs.io/.

This package implements a Graph SLAM solver in Python.

Features

  • Optimize \mathbb{R}^2, \mathbb{R}^3, SE(2), and SE(3) datasets
  • Analytic Jacobians
  • Supports odometry and landmark edges
  • Supports custom edge types (see tests/test_custom_edge.py for an example)
  • Import and export .g2o files

Installation

pip install graphslam

Example Usage

SE(3) Dataset

>>> from graphslam.graph import Graph

>>> g = Graph.from_g2o("data/parking-garage.g2o")  # https://lucacarlone.mit.edu/datasets/

>>> g.plot(vertex_markersize=1)

>>> g.calc_chi2()

16720.02100546733

>>> g.optimize()

>>> g.plot(vertex_markersize=1)

Output:
