Software development of SLAM mapping device using solid-state lidar sensor

Date
Nov. 2021 - Jan. 2022

Project objective

โ€ข
To develop a handheld SLAM mapping device using a three-dimensional fixed solid-state LiDAR sensor being developed by the company.
โ€ข
To select or design suitable modules from hardware to software.
โ€ข
To create a foothold for future sales to potential buyers who need 3D fixed LiDAR and SLAM application software.

Contributions

โ€ข
Researched and experimented with open-source SLAM software that suited the characteristics of the company's 3D fixed lidar sensors.
โ€ข
Tuned SLAM software hyper-parameters to achieve high quality mapping results
โ€ข
Implemented a module to visualize lidar reflectance values on the generated maps
โ€ข
Developed a simple three-dimensional point cloud viewer using Flask on an embedded board
โ€ข
Managed development environment and experimentation using Docker
โ€ข
Create a user manual and demo video
