Visual Inertial Sensor Unit

Our MAV VIS unit has hardware-based synchronization between IMU and Camera:

• Using Bluefox2 global shutter camera:

  • mvBlueFOX-MLC

    accepts external hardware trigger

• Using Xsens MTi-10 series:

  It can take in as well as generate trigger signals for Camera IMU synchronization

  It can be easily replaceable with any hardware trigger generator IMU like razor IMU

Do not use an alternative like Loitor Cam2pc Visual-Inertial SLAM Sensor or Optor Visual-Inertial sensor.

These above two sensors have high drift in IMU with time

You can use Arduino based hardware clock sync:
