| contents | Nowadays, sensor suits have been equipped with redundant LiDARs and IMUs to mitigate the risks associated with sensor failure. It is challenging for the previous discrete-time and IMU-driven kinematic systems to incorporate multiple asynchronized sensors, which are susceptible to abnormal IMU data. To address these limitations, we introduce a multi-LiDAR multi-IMU state estimator by taking advantage of Gaussian Process (GP) that predicts a non-parametric continuous-time trajectory to capture sensors' spatial-temporal movement with limited control states. Since the kinematic model driven by three types of linear time-invariant stochastic differential equations are independent of external sensor measurements, our proposed approach is capable of handling different sensor configurations and resilient to sensor failures. Moreover, we replace the conventional $\mathrm{SE}(3)$ state representation with the combination of $\mathrm{SO}(3)$ and vector space, which enables GP-based LiDAR-inertial system to fulfill the real-time requirement. Extensive experiments on the public datasets demonstrate the versatility and resilience of our proposed multi-LiDAR multi-IMU state estimator. To contribute to the community, we will make our source code publicly available. |
