Description

Visual SLAM and 3D Lidar SLAM algorithms are widely used in the industry. Concepts like visual odometry, object tracking using 3D lidars, etc., can be helpful to many people.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study existing algorithms in the repository (e.g., EKF SLAM) to understand the code structure. Research common visual odometry methods like ORB SLAM or DSO, and choose one to implement. Start with a simple 2D visual SLAM before extending to 3D lidar.
