Attitude Estimation Method for Target Ships Based on LiDAR Point Clouds via An Improved RANSAC

The accurate attitude estimation of target ships plays a vital role in ensuring the safety of marine transportation, especially for tugs. A Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) system can generate 3D point clouds to describe the target ship’s geometric features that possess attitude information. In t...
