Release of work "ImMesh: An Immediate LiDAR Localization and Meshing Framework"

1. Introduction

ImMesh is a novel LiDAR(-inertial) odometry and meshing framework, which takes advantage of input of LiDAR data, achieving the goal of simultaneous localization and meshing in real-time. ImMesh comprises four tightly-coupled modules: receiver, localization, meshing, and broadcaster. The localization module utilizes the prepossessed sensor data from the receiver, estimates the sensor pose online by registering LiDAR scans to maps, and dynamically grows the map. Then, our meshing module takes the registered LiDAR scan for incrementally reconstructing the triangle mesh on the fly. Finally, the real-time odometry, map, and mesh are published via our broadcaster.
