ICET Online Accuracy Characterization for Geometry-Based Laser Scan Matching

1 code implementation14 Jun 2023 Matthew McDermott, Jason Rife

In this paper we introduce the Iterative Closest Ellipsoidal Transform (ICET), a novel 3D LIDAR scan-matching algorithm that re-envisions NDT in order to provide robust accuracy prediction from first principles.

Multipath Effects on Frequency-Locked Loops (FLLs) and FLL-derived Doppler Measurements

no code implementations5 Mar 2023 Liangchun Xu, Jason Rife

This paper investigates the impact of non-line-of-sight (NLOS) and multipath signals on frequency-locked loops (FLLs), which are commonly used to obtain Doppler shift measurements for velocity estimation in radio navigation.

DNN Filter for Bias Reduction in Distribution-to-Distribution Scan Matching

1 code implementation8 Nov 2022 Matthew McDermott, Jason Rife

Distribution-to-distribution (D2D) point cloud registration techniques such as the Normal Distributions Transform (NDT) can align point clouds sampled from unstructured scenes and provide accurate bounds of their own solution error covariance -- an important feature for safety-of-life navigation tasks.

Mitigating Shadows in Lidar Scan Matching using Spherical Voxels

no code implementations1 Aug 2022 Matthew McDermott, Jason Rife

In this paper we propose an approach to mitigate shadowing errors in Lidar scan matching, by introducing a preprocessing step based on spherical gridding.
