abstract = {This paper describes a software toolbox for LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) and LiDAR-Inertial Odometry qualitative and quantitative evaluation. We provide software as https://github.com/MapsHD organization with all necessary information at https://github.com/MapsHD/HDMapping. Our software contributions are a) ground truth data processing tool, b) dockerized state-of-the-art LO and LIO algorithms, c) multi-session data registration to common coordinate system, d) Absolute Pose Error (APE) and Relative Pose Error (RPE) metrics, e) import/export tools for easier 3D data handling and visualizing, e.g., in Cloud Compare software. This software is compatible with ROS1 (Robot Operating System) and ROS2 data formats. We show an example benchmark of LeGO-LOAM, LIO-SAM, FAST-LIO, DLO, VoxelMap, Faster-LIO, KISS-ICP, CT-ICP, SLICT, DLIO, GLIM, iG-LIO, LIO-EKF, I2EKF-LO, GenZ-ICP, RESPLE, odometry_ros_wrapper, Point-LIO, and LOAM-Livox algorithms. For all experiments we provide movies. The contribution of the paper is software-oriented LO/LIO algorithm benchmark suite. The novelty lies in the integration of multiple benchmarking steps into a unified framework, thus overall effort needed for qualitative and quantitative evaluation is reduced.}
