Could you build this?
No This is an IEEE RA-L published paper on Doppler LiDAR-Inertial odometry/SLAM initialization, requiring advanced non-linear state estimation and sensor fusion expertise.
What it would actually take: Requires C++ with ROS2, Ceres Solver or GTSAM for factor graph optimization, and complex kinematic mathematical modeling of Doppler radial velocity measurements coupled with IMU preintegration. Developing this requires deep expertise in probabilistic robotics, mathematical Lie group theory, and physical LiDAR sensor mechanics.
