Own camera

[IgorKryvutsa]

Is it possible to run this sdk using another camera (not from list) with own imu? If yes, can you give me more details about it?

Completely possible, but nontrivial. There are some guidelines here: https://spectacularai.github.io/docs/sdk/custom-hardware.html

Note that the Input API required to do this is only available with a commercial license.

Some background: For off-the-shelf solutions, intrinsics/extrinsics are known - they're usually embedded in the device at the factory. They've been designed to a known spec and manufacturer-calibrated, so it's relatively straightforward to provide an SDK that can leverage one of those "out of the box". There are a LOT of knowns with them which makes it much easier to deploy them, especially for rapid prototyping.

For custom systems, there's a fair amount of additional work to do, per-device. You're building a custom VIO-SLAM-capable sensor array. You generally want hardware-synchronized timing from multiple sources - cameras and IMU(s) - and you need to do calibration for each device individually and collectively.
