[KISS-ICP](https://www.ipb.uni-bonn.de/wp-content/papercite-data/pdf/vizzo2023ral.pdf) is a LiDAR Odometry pipeline that **just works** on most of the cases withouth tunning any parameter.

## Install ```sh pip install kiss-icp ``` If you also want to install all the *(optional)* dependencies, like Open3D for running the visualizer: ```sh pip install "kiss-icp[all]" ``` ## Running the system Next, follow the instructions on how to run the system by typing: ```sh kiss_icp_pipeline --help ``` This should print the following help message: ![out](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/21349875/193282970-25a400aa-ebcd-487a-b839-faa04eeca5b9.png) ### Config You can generate a default `config.yaml` by typing ```sh kiss_icp_dump_config ``` Now, you can modify the parameters and pass the file to the `--config` option when running the `kiss_icp_pipeline`. ### Install Python API (developer mode) If you plan to modify the code then you need to setup the dev dependencies, luckily, the only real requirements are a modern C++ compiler and the `pip` package manager, nothing else!, in Ubuntu-based systems this can be done with: ```sh sudo apt install g++ python3-pip ``` After that you can clone the code and install the python api: ```sh git clone https://github.com/PRBonn/kiss-icp.git cd kiss-icp make editable ``` ### Install Python API (expert mode) If you want to have more controll over the build, you should then install `cmake`, ,`ninja`, `tbb`, `Eigen`, and `pybind11` as extra dependencies in your system, the ubuntu-way of doing this is: ```sh sudo apt install build-essential libeigen3-dev libtbb-dev pybind11-dev ninja-build ``` ## Citation If you use this library for any academic work, please cite our original [paper](https://www.ipb.uni-bonn.de/wp-content/papercite-data/pdf/vizzo2023ral.pdf). ```bibtex @article{vizzo2023ral, author = {Vizzo, Ignacio and Guadagnino, Tiziano and Mersch, Benedikt and Wiesmann, Louis and Behley, Jens and Stachniss, Cyrill}, title = {{KISS-ICP: In Defense of Point-to-Point ICP -- Simple, Accurate, and Robust Registration If Done the Right Way}}, journal = {IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters (RA-L)}, pages = {1029--1036}, doi = {10.1109/LRA.2023.3236571}, volume = {8}, number = {2}, year = {2023}, codeurl = {https://github.com/PRBonn/kiss-icp}, } ``` ## Contributing We envision KISS-ICP as a comunity-driven project, we love to see how the project is growing thanks to the contributions from the comunity.
