SSMI is a library for autonomous robot exploration using a stream of depth and semantic segmentation images as the input to build a semantically annotated OctoMap in real-time.
SSMI is implemented as two ROS packages, which can be built on x86-64 and ARM-based processors:
- Semantic OctoMap implementation for building probabilistic multi-class maps of an environment (SSMI-Mapping)
- Autonomous exploration using Semantic Shannon Mutual Information (SSMI-Planning)
