Beluga is an extensible C++17 library with a ground-up implementation of the Monte Carlo Localization (MCL) family of estimation algorithms featuring:
- A modular design based on orthogonal components.
- Emphasis on the prevention of regressions and facilitation of code improvements through test coverage.
- Semi-automated benchmarks that can be used to validate different configurations.
