LIDAR-INERTIAL LOCALIZATION WITH GROUND CONSTRAINT IN A POINT CLOUD MAP
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract. Real-time localization is a crucial task in various applications, such as automatic vehicles (AV), robotics, and smart city. This study proposes a framework for map-aided LiDAR-inertial localization, with the objective of accurately estimating the trajectory in a point clouds map. The proposed framework addresses the localization problem through a factor graph optimization (FGO), enabling the fusion of homogenous measurements for sensor fusion and designed absolute and relative constraints. Specifically, the framework estimates the light detection and ranging (LiDAR) odometry by leveraging inertial measurement unit (IMU) and registering corresponding featured points. To eliminate the accumulative error, this paper employs a ground plane distance and a map matching error to constraint the positioning error along the trajectory. Finally, local odometry and constraints are integrated using a FGO, including LiDAR odometry, IMU pre-integration, and ground constraints, map matching constraints, and loop closure. Experimental results were evaluated on an open-source dataset, UrbanNav, with an overall localization accuracy of 2.29 m (root mean square error, RMSE).

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
