  • v2.1 Release: v2.1
    This new version mainly brings fixes to the SLAM on pose graph optimization and GPS handling and on the build and install cmake processes. 
    
    Features available in this version : 
    * Loop closure automatic detection + loading of various detections from the disk
    * Failure detection and recovery mode
    * Calibration estimation between 2 trajectories
    * Handling of Livox sensors in ROS
    * Pose graph optimization with external poses is allowed
    
    Performances are also improved modifying the keypoints extraction and the submap extraction. The ROS interface is also improved.
  • v2.0 Release: v2.0
    The main changes are related to a postprocess use of the SLAM. 
    
    Features available in this version : 
    * Trajectory upload
    * Loop closure
    * IMU integration
    * RGB camera integration
    * External cross-platform superbuild
    
    The library is cmakified and its install has been cleaned so that it can be easily integrated in an external project.
  • v1.6 Release: v1.6
    Features available in this version : 
    * Landmarks handling (locally and in pose graph optimization)
    * Wheel odometer handling
    * External pose integration
    * Localization/Mapping modes
    * Modular keypoints extraction 
    * MultiLidar
    * GPS for pose graph optimization
    * Moving objects rejection
    * Confidence estimators available
    * Ouster/Velodyne ROS support
    * Superbuild
  • v1.5 Release: v1.5
  • v1.4 Release: v1.4
  • v1.3 Release: v1.3
  • v1.2 Release: v1.2
    Version 1.2
    
    This release brings important improvements (in terms of processing speed as well as precision) such as *undistortion* or *motion extrapolation*.
    It also greatly improves user interface for easier parameters settings.
  • v1.1 Release: v1.1
    Version 1.1
    
    Add several functionalities to v1.0, such as compressed pointclouds logging, latency compensation, multi-threading or ParaView/LidarView plugin.
  • v1.0 Release: v1.0
    First release of LiDAR SLAM as an independent project.
    
    As this is the first 'official' version, most changes are not reported since **v0.0**, and only a small subset of useful or major changes is listed below.
    
    ### Core lib
    
    * Numerous misc bug fixes and improvements
    * Major code cleaning and refactoring
    * Add CI for core SLAM lib
    * Add pose graph optimization (PGO)
    * Add optional logging of keypoints and trajectory
    * Add verbosity modes to display state, steps durations and results
    * Replace 6 DoF state vector by `Eigen::Isometry3d`
    * Major acceleration of `RollingGrid`
    * Add documentation for dependencies and installation
    
    ### ROS wrapping
    
    * First version of ROS package `lidar_slam`, supporting all core SLAM lib functionalities
    * Add SLAM parameters setting from ROS parameter server
    * Optional SLAM/GPS global calibration from trajectories
    * Add ROS package `gps_conversions` to manage conversions to standard `gps_common::GPSFix` message and process UTM/WGS84 transformations
    * Compute GPS heading from movement when it is not available.
    * Add documentation for usage
  • v0.0
    Slam code extracted from LidarView without any modification.
