A Survey on 3D LiDAR Localization for Autonomous Vehicles
It addresses the need for improved localization in self-driving cars, but is incremental as it is a survey.
This paper reviews recent advancements in 3D LiDAR localization for autonomous vehicles, analyzing results from various methods to identify promising research directions.
LiDAR sensors are becoming one of the most essential sensors in achieving full autonomy for self driving cars. LiDARs are able to produce rich, dense and precise spatial data, which can tremendously help in localizing and tracking a moving vehicle. In this paper, we review the latest finding in 3D LiDAR localization for autonomous driving cars, and analyse the results obtained by each method, in an effort to guide the research community towards the path that seems to be the most promising.
