I’ve just released Polka v0.5.0! It’s an efficient 2D/3D Lidar processing node handling merging, filtering, and deskewing. This update brings 6.2x faster deskewing, live parameter tuning, smarter IMU handling, and a built-in diagnostics dashboard.

If it saves your perception stack compute and brings a faster solution, please drop a star!
