What it does

  • Fuses LiDAR, inertial and visual data for localization and mapping.
  • Designed for real-time 3D reconstruction and onboard robotic localization.
  • Targets environments where localization is severely degraded.
  • Includes a launch example for mapping with an Avia LiDAR and a rosbag dataset.
  • Recommends the FAST-Calib toolkit for LiDAR-camera extrinsic calibration.
