3D SLAM using planar segments

Abstract
This paper presents an improved feature-based 3D SLAM approach for a mobile robot equipped with a rotating laser scanner. The features are represented using the SPmodel, with associated planar segment information based on decimated polygon sets. An extended Kalman filter is used to build a three-dimensional map of the environment and track the robot's pose. As shown, the resulting maps are highly detailed, useful for higher-level robotic tasks and small in size
