Abstract

Solid-state LiDARs are more compact and cheaper than the conventional mechanical multi-line spinning LiDARs, which have become increasingly popular in autonomous driving recently. However, there are several challenges for these new LiDAR sensors, including severe motion distortions, small field of view and sparse point cloud, which hinder them from being widely used in LiDAR odometry. To tackle these problems, we present an effective continuous-time LiDAR odometry (ECTLO) method for the Risley prism-based LiDARs with non-repetitive scanning patterns. To account for the noisy data, a filter-based point-to-plane Gaussian Mixture Model is used for robust registration. Moreover, a LiDAR-only continuous-time motion model is employed to relieve the inevitable distortions. To facilitate the implicit data association in parallel, we maintain all map points within a single range image. Extensive experiments have been conducted on various testbeds using the solid-state LiDARs with different scanning patterns, whose promising results demonstrate the efficacy of our proposed approach.
