TL; DR: Sharing that you are using GLIM (and related packages) helps the author receive recognition within his organization and enables continued work on this project.

Long description: The author of this package is NOT a full-time OSS developer but just a researcher who dedicates the majority of his working hours to other assignments. His time for OSS projects is limited, and to sustain his involvement, internal acknowledgment within his organization is crucial. Metrics like the number of stars and forks are often overlooked by executives, who may not grasp their significance. Conversely, stating "this package is used by A/B universities and C/D corporations" can effectively communicate its value. So, if you find this package useful for your work, we kindly ask you to leave a comment in this thread. Just saying hello to the author is appreciated. If you could share about your organization and how you use the package, that would immensely support the author.

EDIT: It would be much appreciated if you could share screenshots or videos of your results at Thirdparty results. I love to see my packages being used in the world.

Hello, koide-san, thank you for the wonderful work, I am interested in using GLIM for an indoor wheelchair navigation system, by the way, I am working at University of Tsukuba.

hello，thank you for your great work. i want to use your work in multi robot collaborative mapping. by the way, the initialization and estimation of accurate relative state and ensuring low-bandwidth(lower than 1MB/s between robots) might be a great idea in improving this work (like kimera-multi). as far as i know, there's not so much people working on this. im working in zhejiang university:).

@robot-Yang Thank you for your message! I'm so glad to hear from a good neighbor!

koide3 commented 3 months ago

@South-River Yeah, applications to multi robot settings must be an exciting topic. Actually, a student of mine is now working on multi-robot mapping, and I hope we can share interesting results with the community in the near future. Thanks for your comment!

Thank you for another great contribution to the robotics community!

I'm trying to use GLIM and its related packages for my non-commercial personal project where I do LiDAR mapping of beautiful tourist places in my home country. I'll try it out with a number of LiDARs and mobile platforms, and in the future I will try to integrate into more robotics / autonomous driving projects.

I also plan to share the repo amongst my community of SLAM experts in Korea. There should be many who are working in the field of robotics and autonomous driving, both in academia and industry (I will definitely mention the commercial license).

EDIT: There's a typo in the title of this issue. "Your" -> "You"

@changh95 Thanks a lot! I hope this package will help your nice projects!

We (the University of Canterbury, New Zealand) attempt to map orchards with RTK GNSS, Mid360, and (12!) cameras. We use forms of photogrammetry (NeRF, Gassusian Splatting) and aim to align the sub-scans (e.g., from two sides of a row) using the LiDAR map (without it, there's a tendency to drift slightly).

koide3 commented 2 months ago

@oliver-batchelor Mapping with a dozen of cameras is interesting! Good luck on your work!

Hi, and thanks for sharing this project Koide-san. I work with a Norwegian reasearch institution and have tested GLIM in connection with a project we are part of, on robotized ship recycling. So far I am very impressed by both the robustness and accuracy of this system.

Hi!

I'm from Carnegie Mellon University. I'm using your software for benchmarking different Lidar-inertial SLAM systems. Great work!

Thank you. awesome project !

Amazing work, I like the simplicity and easy to understand system of configuration files. I was using hdl_graph_slam for 3 years. currently I am moving to use GLIM. In my work I have used it for creating HD Maps for autonomous driving applications beside other confidential projects ;) I would love to see optimized parameters for indoor mapping.
