Simple yet effective 3D LiDAR-Odometry registration pipeline

KISS-ICP: In Defense of Point-to-Point ICP – Simple, Accurate, and Robust Registration If Done the Right Way

📰 NEWS!!! 📰 ROS API

It was never this easy, just git clone this repo into your catkin workspace and build it:

cd ~/catkin_ws/ && git clone https://github.com/PRBonn/kiss-icp && catkin build

For more detailed instructions on the ROS wrapper, please visit here

Install Python API

We released a python-package supported on , , and .

To get started, just run

pip install kiss-icp

If you also want to install all the (optional) dependencies, like Open3D for running the visualizer:

pip install "kiss-icp[all]"

Next, follow the instructions on how to run the system by typing:

kiss_icp_pipeline --help

This should print the following help message:

Install Python API (developer mode)

If you plan to modify the code then you need to setup the dev dependencies, luckilly, the only real requirements are a modern C++ compiler and the pip package manager, nothing else!, in Ubuntu-based sytems this can be done with:

sudo apt install g++ python3-pip

After that you can clone the code and install the python api:

git clone https://github.com/PRBonn/kiss-icp.git
cd kiss-icp
pip install --verbose .

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:

sudo apt install build-essential libeigen3-dev libtbb-dev pybind11-dev ninja-build
