What it does

  • Fuses LiDAR feature points with IMU data using a tightly-coupled iterated extended Kalman filter.
  • Runs direct scan-to-map odometry on raw LiDAR points, with feature extraction optional.
  • Supports spinning LiDARs such as Velodyne and Ouster, and solid-state Livox LiDARs such as Avia, Horizon and MID-70.
  • Supports external IMUs and can save the accumulated scans as a PCD file.
  • Includes launch files and examples for Livox Avia, Velodyne HDL-32E rosbags, and the MARSIM simulator.
