    Good Morning guys,

    I would like to know how could I test my own VIO algorithms on sentinel drone.

    Best Regards!

      @leonardo-Andrade-0 , you should take a look at the software architecture diagram here :

      Link Preview Image
      Modal Pipe Architecture

      ModalAI technical documentation for VOXL and VOXL 2 Companion Computers for PX4 and ArduPilot Obstacle Avoidance and GPS-denied navigation, assembled in the USA

      favicon

      ModalAI Technical Docs (docs.modalai.com)

      look for a process called voxl-qvio-server in the diagram. It receives camera images (from voxl-camera-server) and IMU data (from voxl-imu-server)

      You can create your own process that subscribes to camera and imu data similarly to voxl-qvio-server and implement your own algorithm.

      You will probably benefit from using a logging / playback feature as well (to record and play back images and imu data). Then you can play back data and compare output from voxl-qvio-server and your implementation.
