Perception Stack ================ The **Perception Stack** provides real-time environment awareness for MAVISS, enabling mapping, localization, and autonomous navigation. It integrates sensor drivers with ROS 2 modules for LiDAR and visual-inertial odometry. At a high level, this includes: - **LiDAR-based SLAM** – using RoboSense AC1 with RSFastLivo for generating dense point clouds and performing real-time 3D mapping. - **Visual-Inertial Odometry (VIO)** – combining onboard cameras and IMU data to achieve accurate state estimation, especially in GPS-denied environments. These components are designed to work alongside the companion computer and Pixhawk, forming the basis for advanced autonomy. ---- .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 1 :hidden: RSFastLivo VIO FastLivo2
