Flight-Ready LiDAR-Inertial Odometry for Embedded Drone Platforms
Alvaro J. Gaona, David Perez-Saura, Francisco J. Anguita, Pascual Campoy
Open-source LiDAR-inertial odometry (LIO) systems have achieved remarkable benchmark accuracy, yet current state-of-the-art implementations are primarily optimized for evaluation performance rather than the requirements of real-time closed-loop aerial control. When deployed onboa…
