What it does

  • Builds a map from pointcloud data alone, with no extra input such as an IMU required.
  • Can localize within a given map and extend that map with new measurements.
  • Uses only well-established algorithms in their basic form, to make the field easier to enter.
  • Built on the Open3D library for 3D data processing.
  • Provides a catkin wrapper so Open3D can be used in ROS projects.
