ATOM Calibration

A Calibration Framework using the
Atomic Transformations Optimization Method

ATOM is a set of calibration tools for multi-sensor, multi-modal, robotic systems, based on the optimization of atomic transformations as provided by a ROS based robot description. Moreover, ATOM provides several scripts to facilitate all the steps of a calibration procedure.

For instructions on how to install and use, check the documentation:

https://lardemua.github.io/atom_documentation/

and check these examples.

Also, you can take a look at the ATOM youtube playlist.
