Research direction
Review the existing repository to understand coding patterns and algorithm structure. Examine the 6 comments on the issue for any suggested approaches or specific algorithms (e.g., ORB SLAM). Research simple visual odometry or LiDAR SLAM implementations that could be adapted. Identify a minimal viable algorithm to implement, such as a basic monocular visual SLAM, and ensure it fits within the repository's scope.
