g2o: A General Framework for Graph Optimization
Role in this project:
Back-end Developer
Back-end DeveloperContributions:6 commits, 1 PR in 7 days
Contributions summary:Jacopo primarily focused on implementing 3D line representations and related functionalities within the g2o framework. They developed the `Line3D` class, including methods for conversions (to/from Cartesian and orthonormal representations) and operations such as `oplus` and `ominus`. Their work involved debugging and testing the new line representation and integration with the existing SLAM framework. The user also added example code using the new structures.
