Add ImuFactorBatch: IMU chain marginalized inside the factor - #33
Merged
Merged
Conversation
Keyframe pair (T_a, v_a, b_a, T_b, v_b, b_b) with the raw samples between them in a ragged CSR device array. Every evaluation integrates the Euler chain from keyframe a and eliminates its intermediate states (covariance form of the Riccati recursion, float32-stable), returning the marginal factor: 9 whitened rows of the keyframe-b defect plus 6 bias random-walk rows. J^T J and J^T r equal the Schur complement of the explicit chain. Chains split over 1-32 lanes as associatively composable summaries, sized from the batch size and num_samples / capacity, so small batches use the whole GPU. Tests: float64 reference with finite-difference Jacobians, explicit-chain Schur complement, lane-count agreement, noiseless chain, LM recovery of keyframes, throughput and VIO profiling benchmarks (disabled). Python bindings, test and Sphinx guide.

Review comments at @cunls/factor/imu_factor_batch.cu:
- Around line 565-569: Clamp Tsum to a small positive value before computing
sigma_inv in the bias-row loop, so empty or zero-duration IMU ranges keep the
bias residuals and Jacobian rows finite. Reuse the same lower-bound value as the
Cholesky diagonal clamp in the surrounding factor computation.
Review comments at @python/src/bind_factor.cpp:
- Line 998: Validate array dtypes at the Python boundary before `ImuKernel`
reads their pointers: require float samples and integer offsets, while
preserving raw integer-pointer support. In `python/src/bind_factor.cpp` lines
998-998, update the `ImuFactorBatch` input handling to reject mismatched array
dtypes. In `docs/sphinx/imu.rst` lines 59-60, specify `cp.float32` for samples
and `cp.int32` for offsets in the `cp.asarray` calls.
Review comments at @tests/imu_factor_batch_test.cpp:
- Around line 672-673: Update the 65,536-factor case in LanesPerFactorAgree and
the corresponding case in DISABLED_Throughput to use only short chains,
preserving enough factors to force one lane per chain without replicating the
1,000-sample chain. Avoid building large replicated Samples collections in these
cases.

…tors The pose states are now rig_from_world (perturbed X Exp(xi)), the same pose state ReprojectionFactorBatch and PnPFactorBatch read, so the factors can share poses in inertial bundle adjustment and PnP. The IMU pose is X^-1 body_from_imu (rig_from_imu). The pose Jacobians map the world-frame rotation perturbation to the IMU: phi_imu = -R_imu^T phi, dp_imu = [p_imu]x phi - rho. Rotations about the world origin put lever arms |p| in the rotation columns, so the lane-split agreement test compares Jacobians relative to each row's largest entry. Tests, Python test, bindings and guide follow the new convention.

- Bias random-walk rows clamp the variance sigma_b^2 T with the same floor as the Cholesky pivots (kMinVariance), so empty or zero-duration chains stay finite (EmptyChainStaysFinite). - ImuParameters: gravity is a Vector<3>, body_from_imu an SE3Transform. The kernel takes ImuParameters directly (KernelParameters removed). - Python: ImuFactorBatch requires float32 samples and int32 offsets (raw integer pointers pass unchecked), via a dtype-checking extract_device_ptr overload; the guide passes the dtypes explicitly. - Tests: replicated batches are flattened directly; the 65536-factor cases of LanesPerFactorAgree and DISABLED_Throughput use short chains only. The LM test no longer overrides its documented bias random walk.
