A Point Cloud Registration Pipeline using Gaussian Process Regression for Bathymetric SLAM

Thomas Hitchcox,James Richard Forbes,Thomas Hitchcox,James Richard Forbes

Point cloud registration is a means of achieving loop closure correction within a simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithm. Data association is a critical component in point cloud registration, and can be very challenging in feature-depleted environments such as seabed. This paper presents a point cloud registration pipeline for performing loop closure correction in feature-depleted ...
