We present an efficient, elastic 3D LiDAR reconstruction framework which can reconstruct up to maximum Li-DAR ranges (60 m) at multiple frames per second, thus enabling robot exploration in large-scale environments. Our approach only requires a CPU. We focus on three main challenges of large-scale reconstruction: integration of long-range LiDAR scans at high frequency, the capacity to deform the r...
