When and Where Localization Fails: An Analysis of the Iterative Closest Point in Evolving Environment

Abdel-Raouf Dannaoui, Johann Laconte, Christophe Debain +2

Robust relocalization in dynamic outdoor environments remains a key challenge for autonomous systems relying on 3D lidar. While long-term localization has been widely studied, shor…

Toward Teach and Repeat Across Seasonal Deep Snow Accumulation

Matěj Boxan, Alexander Krawciw, Timothy D. Barfoot +1

Teach and repeat is a rapid way to achieve autonomy in challenging terrain and off-road environments. A human operator pilots the vehicles to create a network of paths that are map…

Under Pressure: Altimeter-Aided ICP for 3D Maps Consistency

William Dubois, Nicolas Samson, Effie Daum +2

We propose a novel method to enhance the accuracy of the Iterative Closest Point (ICP) algorithm by integrating altitude constraints from a barometric pressure sensor. While ICP is…
