  Research assistant

  I am implementing the SLAM module for an autonomous vehicle that can transport two occupants around the campus. I am working on multiple sensors like Stereo/RGB-D/ monocular cameras, LIDAR, IMU and GPS. I calibrated multiple cameras and sensors and tested various SLAM algorithms under varying conditions for reliable usage. I worked on following SLAM algorithms: ORB SLAM, VINS-Mono, VINS-Fusion, GMapping, MultiCol SLAM, MCPTAM
