First of all, congratulations on your paper publication! Targetless calibration for LiDAR-IMU systems is very interesting for a number of applications. I have been working on a LiDAR-IMU calibration pipeline myself, and as you mention in your paper, there is a lack of open-sourced packages for this problem. I would personally like to thank you for your contribution to the community. I have been using your tool to get a reliable calibration, and plan to use it to benchmark my own algorithm.

I would like to contribute to your project by allowing the user to externally set the gyroscope/accelerometer noise densities, LiDAR noise and IMU rate, so that the optimization weights may be computed according to the user's specific sensors.
