# lidar_align

## A simple method for finding the extrinsic calibration between a 3D lidar and a 6-dof pose sensor
The method makes use of the property that pointclouds from lidars appear more 'crisp' when the calibration is correct. The system attempts to find the transform between a lidar and the given poses such that the distance between any two lidar points in the resulting fused pointcloud is minimized. Currently only supports poses provided by Maplab.
The method makes use of the property that pointclouds from lidars appear more 'crisp' when the calibration is correct. The system attempts to find the transform between a lidar and the given poses such that the distance between any two lidar points in the resulting fused pointcloud is minimized. Poses can be provided as a TransformStamped message or in Maplab's CSV format

This library is pretty new and only tested on a couple of datasets, so expect some issues when you first run it.
