# XIVO: X Inertial-aided Visual Odometry and Sparse Mapping
XIVO is an open-source repository for visual-inertial odometry/mapping. It is a simplified version of Corvis \[[Jones *et al.*][jones_ijrr11],[Tsotsos *et al.*][tsotsos_icra15]\], designed for pedagogical purposes, and incorporates odometry (relative motion of the sensor platform), local mapping (pose relative to a reference frame of the oldest visible features), and global mapping (pose relative to a global frame, including loop-closure and global re-localization — this feature, present in Corvis, is not yet incorporated in XIVO).
XIVO runs at 140FPS on stored data (here from a RealSense D435i sensor) or on live streams with latency of around 1-7ms, depending on the hardware. It takes as input video frames from a calibrated camera and inertial measurements from an IMU, and outputs a sparse point cloud with attribute features and 6 DOF pose of the camera. It performs auto-calibration of the relative pose between the camera and the IMU as well as the time-stamp alignment. More demos are available [here](https://github.com/ucla-vision/xivo/wiki/Background-and-History#semantic-mapping-demo-corvis). The aproach is described in this [paper][tsotsos_icra15].
