Very excited to share the news that research and development into version 2.0 of the Open Mobile Mapping System has officially begun! The major R&D goals include:
- Support for the Livox Horizon lidar sensor (with internal Bosch BMI088 IMU)
- Support for the Emlid Reach M2 Dual-Frequency GNSS sensor
- Support for the Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera
- Evaluate the performance of using the Horizon’s IMU observations + the M2’s GNSS observations for estimating a post-processed trajectory
- Creation of a graphical user interface (GUI) desktop application for the OpenMMS software suite

This is dope!
I was just about to open a topic to discuss this. I recently stumbled upon a topic on emlid forum where somebody already used Emlid Reach and VectorNav VN-100 with velodyne VLP-16 and came at least halfway with it! https://community.emlid.com/t/reach-with-velodyne-puck-lite/2773/43
I think that It would be good to leave some space for integrating additional IMU on this system, in case the internal does not perform well.
Can’t wait!
Thanks for the positive feedback, Luka!
