LiDAR is widely adopted in Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) and High Definition (HD) map production. The accuracy of LiDAR Odometry (LO) is of great importance, especially in GPS-denied environments. However, we found typical LO results are prone to drift upwards along the vertical direction in underground parking lots, leading to poor mapping results. This paper proposes a Ground Cons...
