Real-Time LiDAR–Inertial Simultaneous Localization and Mesh Reconstruction by Yunqi Cheng, Meng Xu, Kezhi Wang, Zonghai Chen, Jikai Wang

“…Firstly, to reduce the odometry drift errors we use scan-to-map matching, and inter-frame inertial information is used to generate prior relative pose estimation for later LiDAR-dominated optimization. Then, based on the motivation that the unevenly distributed residual terms tend to degrade the nonlinear optimizer, a novel residual density-driven Gauss–Newton method is proposed to obtain the optimal pose estimation. …”
