In this paper, we present a centralized framework for multi-session LiDAR mapping in urban environments, by utilizing lightweight line and plane map representations instead of widely used point clouds. The proposed framework achieves consistent mapping in a coarse-to-fine manner. Global place recognition is achieved by associating lines and planes on the Grassmannian manifold, followed by an outli...
