In data preprocessing section, we conduct IMU pre-integration to address the rapid growth of the number of variables in the optimizer and provide reference for point cloud deskewing. A fast point cloud segmentation approach based on angle image is proposed to screen out featured points and downsize the magnitude of point cloud, which increase the accuracy and efficiency of LiDAR odometry. In mapping section, a sensor-centered multi-resolution map model is proposed to solve the problem of the costly searching for correspondences among local map, and the incomplete representation of accumulated point cloud map. We keep the number of points in local map constant by restoring them in a circular vector, and use multi-resolution grids to keep map points uniform, which promote the increasing of efficiency and accuracy of scan-to-map registration. In data fusion section, we present a LiDAR/IMU tightly coupled optimization method by adding pre-integration factors, registration factors and loop closure factors into the global factor graph, and applying optimization algorithm based on Bayesian tree to estimate all variable nodes, which achieves deeply integration of multi-source information. Finally, we evaluate and compare the performance of Inertial-LOAM with that of LeGO-LOAM, LOAM, and Cartographer using test data gathered by mobile robot. It shows that Inertial-LOAM, with the help of optimization back-end, could dramatically reduce the impact from wrong registrations of point cloud without increasing calculation burden, and has good real time performance. It can achieve centimeter-level positioning accuracy in structured indoor environments, which is similar to other counterparts. And decimeter-level positioning accuracy could be achieved in open and structureless outdoor environments, while all other solutions have different extent of drift.
