Recent years have seen the introduction of more affordable but less accurate 2D range sensors whose field of view is $2\pi$. Scan-matching with these has been insufficiently researched, while being a challenge due to these sensors' increased measurement uncertainty. This paper proposes a real-time method for matching scans extracted from panoramic 2D LIDAR sensors. The method leverages properties ...
