point de-skewing #117

Closed smileyr99 closed 3 months ago

smileyr99 commented 4 months ago

Hello, first of all, thank you for providing a great paper and code.

I have a question regarding point de-skewing. According to the paper, the de-skewing process is performed to correct the rolling shutter effect, but I could not find this process in the code. Can you explain in detail how the distortion correction process mentioned in the paper is carried out? I would appreciate it if you could provide some information regarding this.

Thank you.

The deskewing or accounting for the motion of the sensor while scanning the environment has already been performed by the authors of KITTI using the car-grade inertial measurement unit (IMU). Therefore, we rely on the already deskewed point clouds of the KITTI odometry benchmark.

Please see the implementation in KISS-ICP (https://github.com/PRBonn/kiss-icp/blob/main/python/kiss_icp/kiss_icp.py#L45) for a way to deskew the scan based on an estimate of the motion.
