Terrain Inclination Aided Three-Dimensional Localization and Mapping for an Outdoor Mobile Robot

A new 3D localization and mapping technique with terrain inclination assistance is proposed in this paper to allow a robot to identify its location and build a global map in an outdoor environment. The Iterative Closest Points (ICP) algorithm and terrain inclination-based localization are combined t...
