LiDAR Extrinsic Parameter Adjustment for SLAM Recalibration

Occasionally, we discover that the LiDAR extrinsic parameters are inaccurate. In such cases, we aim to recalibrate the SLAM poses and maps based on the updated parameters, without the need to rerun the entire SLAM process. By doing so, we can keep the annotations and the original SLAM map, which saves human effort and computational resources. Raw Data Given LiDAR points in the LiDAR coordinate system $$\mathbf{p}^{orig} = \bigcup_{t=0:T}\{\mathbf{p}_{t,i}\}_{i=1}^{N_t}$$Where $t$ is the time index, $i$ is the point index at time $t$, and $N_t$ is the number of points at time $t$. ...
