MINS (fork)

Forked from: rpng/MINS

An efficient, robust, and tightly-coupled Multisensor-aided Inertial Navigation System (MINS) which is capable of flexibly fusing all five sensing modalities (IMU, wheel encoders, camera, GNSS, and LiDAR) in a filtering fashion by overcoming the hurdles of computational complexity, sensor asynchronicity, and intra-sensor calibration.

Exemplary use case of MINS:

• VINS (mono, stereo, multi-cam)
• GPS-IMU (single, multiple)
• LiDAR-IMU (single, multiple)
• wheel-IMU
• Camera-GPS-LiDAR-wheel-IMU or more combinations.
