Data backhauling tips and techniques to save on bandwidth & latency

Data backhauling refers to the process of transferring data from one location to another, typically from a remote or geographically dispersed location to a central location or “backhaul.” This process is often used in industries such as transportation, where data from vehicles or other mobile assets is collected and sent back to a central location…

Dimensionality reduction and how it helps reduce the search space by leveraging known information

Removing dimensions or making invariant features is a technique used to reduce the search space in a problem by eliminating certain variables or making them irrelevant. This can be especially useful in LiDAR slam, which has a 6Dof search space (x, y, z, roll, pitch, yaw). By reducing the dimensions, the number of permutations in…

Wheel Odometer and How it Helps Calibration of Accelerometer

Wheel odometry is a method used to measure the distance traveled by a vehicle by tracking the rotations of its wheels. This can be done through various methods such as using encoders, sensors, or by measuring the speed of the wheels using an OBD (on-board diagnostics) sensor. One of the main applications of wheel odometry…

Camera Calibration: Tips and Techniques

Camera calibration is the process of determining the intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of a camera. Intrinsic parameters are properties of the camera itself, such as its focal length and principal point, while extrinsic parameters describe the position and orientation of the camera in the world. Accurate calibration is important for tasks such as 3D reconstruction,…
