Livox_mapping
Livox_mapping is a mapping package for Livox LiDARs. The package currently contains the basic functions of low-speed mapping.
<div align="center"> <img src="doc/results/mid40_hall.gif" width = 45% > <img src="doc/results/horizon_parking.gif" width = 45% > </div>Some key issues:
- Support multiple livox lidar;
- Different feature extraction;
- Remove odometry for small FOV situation;
In the development of our package, we reference to LOAM, LOAM_NOTED.
1. Prerequisites
1.1 Ubuntu and ROS
Ubuntu 64-bit 16.04 or 18.04. ROS Kinetic or Melodic. ROS Installation
1.2. PCL && Eigen && openCV
Follow PCL Installation. Follow Eigen Installation. Follow openCV Installation.
1.3. livox_ros_driver
Follow livox_ros_driver Installation.
2. Build
Clone the repository and catkin_make:
cd ~/catkin_ws/src
git clone https://github.com/Livox-SDK/livox_mapping.git
cd ..
catkin_make
source ~/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash
Remarks:
- If you want to save the pcd file please add map_file_path in launch file.
