Hello! Thanks for your great contribution! May I ask how you obtained the ground truth for your trajectory and pcd map?

From PAPER LOCUS 2.0: Robust and Computationally Efficient Lidar Odometry for Real-Time 3D Mapping. "The ground-truth trajectory is produced by running LOCUS 1.0 against the survey-grade map (i.e. scan-to-map is scan-to-survey-map). In this mode, LOCUS 1.0 is tuned for maximum accuracy at the cost of computational efficiency, as it does not need to be run in real-time. The ground truth trajectory of the robot is determined based on LOCUS 1.0 and its multi-stage registration technique: scan-to-scan and scan-to-map (with high computational parameters and slower pace of data processing) and some manual post-processing work."
