  • The code will be released soon.

A decentralized framework for simultaneous calibration, localization and mapping with multiple LiDARs

Introduction

Decentralized_loam is the code implementation of our paper "A decentralized framework for simultaneous calibration, localization and mapping with multiple LiDARs", which is developed based on our previous work Loam-livox. Our project fuses data from multiple LiDARs in a decentralized framework, which can not only address the problem of localization and mapping, but can also online calibrate the extrinsic of 6-DoF (includes 3-DoF of rotation and 3-DoF of translation).
