DOI: 10.1109/lra.2018.2801879
Abstract: Global registration of multiview robot data is a challenging task. Appearance-based global localization approaches often fail under drastic view-point changes, as representations have limited view-point invariance. This letter is based on the idea that human-made… read more here.
