Date
2022. Feb - 2022. Dec

Auto valet parking demo

(0:00~0:45) In the first drive, the driver presses the Map training button and drives manually to learn the map of the parking environment.
(0:48~2:00) In the second drive, the driver presses the localization button and gets out, and the car drives automatically to park at the specified location.

Purpose of the project

Develop an ultra-lightweight visual SLAM algorithm for autonomous parking software
Position estimation and mapping that runs in real-time on embedded platforms for automotive with limited computational resources

What we contributed

Lightweighting of non-linear optimization used by frontend and backend and porting to embedded platforms
Developed LiDAR GT data generation algorithm for Visual SLAM algorithm evaluation
Built automated pipeline for Visual SLAM algorithm evaluation and created tools to analyze evaluation results
