Realsense T265 tracking camera

Interesting. I wonder how it compares in capability to these algorithms, which are in Nvidia’s Redtail SDK:

Neat, thanks for linking this, I hadn't heard about Redtail before.

This camera only tracks its own pose - it doesn't output a full depth map, according to the FAQ.[1]

The visual odometry algorithm ("Elbrus") in that video can supposedly be run on an NVIDIA Jetson board (unclear which one) at 30fps.[2] It seems like this runs on the CPU, which is pretty impressive.

The Elbrus demo app uses the $450 ZED stereo camera[3], compared to the $200 T265[4], though there's probably nothing stopping someone from using Elbrus with cheaper cameras, including possibly this one.

I have a Jetson Xavier and dual $50 PS4 stereo cameras on my robot and will be trying the Nvidia algorithms.
