# Remember that our LIDAR data is actually just a set of positions estimated from a separate
# scan-matching system, so we can insert it into our solver as another position measurement,
# just as we do for GNSS. However, the LIDAR frame is not the same as the frame shared by the
# IMU and the GNSS. To remedy this, we transform the LIDAR data to the IMU frame using our 
# known extrinsic calibration rotation matrix C_li and translation vector t_i_li.
