• Abstract summary: We propose an improved Signed Distance Function (SDF) for both 2D SLAM and pure localization to improve the accuracy of mapping and localization. Experimental results show that based on the merged SDF map, a localization accuracy of a few millimeters (5mm) can be achieved globally within the map.

• Abstract: Accurate mapping and localization are very important for many industrial robotics applications. In this paper, we propose an improved Signed Distance Function (SDF) for both 2D SLAM and pure localization to improve the accuracy of mapping and localization. To achieve this goal, firstly we improved the back-end mapping to build a more accurate SDF map by extending the update range and building free space, etc. Secondly, to get more accurate pose estimation for the front-end, we proposed a new iterative registration method to align the current scan to the SDF submap by removing random outliers of laser scanners. Thirdly, we merged all the SDF submaps to produce an integrated SDF map for highly accurate pure localization. Experimental results show that based on the merged SDF map, a localization accuracy of a few millimeters (5mm) can be achieved globally within the map. We believe that this method is important for mobile robots working in scenarios where high localization accuracy matters.

  We present a mapping system that fuses local submaps gathered from a fleet of vehicles at a central instance to produce a coherent map of the road environment.

We leverage memory-efficient sparse feature-grids to scale to large areas and introduce a confidence score to model uncertainty in scene reconstruction.

  Implicit reconstruction of ESDF (Euclidean Signed Distance Field) involves training a neural network to regress the signed distance from any point to the nearest obstacle. We propose LGSDF, an ESDF continual Global learning algorithm aided by Local updating. The results on multiple scenes show that LGSDF can construct more accurate ESDF maps and meshes compared with SOTA (State Of The Art) explicit and implicit mapping algorithms.

• A Survey on Visual Map Localization Using LiDARs and Cameras [0.0]
  We define visual map localization as a two-stage process. At the stage of place recognition, the initial position of the vehicle in the map is determined by comparing the visual sensor output with a set of geo-tagged map regions of interest. At the stage of map metric localization, the vehicle is tracked while it moves across the map by continuously aligning the visual sensors' output with the current area of the map that is being traversed.
