Long-time operations of autonomous vehicles and mobile robots in logistics and service applications are still a challenge. To avoid a continuous re-mapping, the map can be updated to obtain a consistent representation of the current environment. In this paper, we propose a novel LIDAR-based occupancy grid map updating algorithm for dynamic environments taking into account possible localisation and...
