A 4D imaging radar SLAM system for large-scale environments based on pose graph optimization by Zhuge, Huayang

“…This work proposes a full system for 4D Radar SLAM consisting of three modules: 1) Front-end module performs scan-to-scan matching to calculate the odometry based on GICP, considering the probability distribution of each point; 2) Loop detection utilizes multiple rule-based loop pre-filtering steps, followed by an intensity scan context step to identify loop candidates, and odometry check to reject false loop; 3) Back-end builds a pose graph using front-end odometry, loop closure, and optional GPS data. …”
