CLIC

Continuous-Time Fixed-Lag Smoothing for LiDAR-Inertial-Camera SLAM

CLIC is a tightly-coupled multi-modal SLAM algorithms based on continuous-time fixed-lag smoothing, it supports a variety of sensor combinations, like the LiDAR-inertial and LiDAR-inertial-camera SLAM systems, and online timeoffset calibration is also naturally supported. More importantly, benefiting from the marginalization and the derived analytical Jacobians for optimization, the proposed continuous-time SLAM systems can achieve real-time performance regardless of the high complexity of continuous-time formulation.

Factor graphs of multi-sensor fusion. For more details, please refer to the paper. [arxiv]

Prerequisites

  • ROS (tested with Melodic)

  • Eigen3

  • Ceres 1.14

  • OpenCV 3.3

  • yaml-cpp

    sudo apt-get install libyaml-cpp-dev
  • livox_ros_driver

  • Sophus has been included in src/sophus_lib

Install

mkdir -p ~/catkin_clic/src
cd ~/catkin_clic/src
git clone https://github.com/APRIL-ZJU/clic.git
git clone https://github.com/Livox-SDK/livox_ros_driver.git
cd ~/catkin_clic
catkin_make
source devel/setup.bash

Example

  • Download ntu_viral_dataset or newer_college_dataset or LVI dataset or livox dataset.

  • Configure parameters in the config/ct_odometry_***.yaml file.

    • config_path: the path of config folder
    • bag_path: the file path of rosbag
  • Run on ntu viral dataset for example.

    roslaunch clic odometry.launch config_path:=config/ct_odometry_ntu.yaml

    The estimated trajectory is saved in the folder./src/clic/data.
