Recursive subgraphs with PGO

Accepted pairs form subgraphs, leftover scans are retried, and each subgraph is refined by pose graph optimization.

Translation error 0.084 → 0.037 m (validation)

One scan (left) and the same scan densified (right).
One scan (left) and the same scan densified (right).

Matching between clusters

Scale-adaptive BUFFER-X between clusters; leftover scans densified with their neighbors, then re-matched.

About twice the points per densified scan
