Abstract

Operations may comprise obtaining a plurality of light detection and ranging (LIDAR) scans of a region. The operations may also comprise identifying a plurality of LIDAR poses that correspond to the plurality of LIDAR scans. In addition, the operations may comprise identifying, as a plurality of keyframes, a plurality of images of the region that are captured during capturing of the plurality of LIDAR scans. The operations may also comprise determining, based on the plurality of LIDAR poses, a plurality of camera poses that correspond to the keyframes. Further, the operations may comprise identifying a plurality of two-dimensional (2D) keypoints in the keyframes. The operations also may comprise generating one or more three-dimensional (3D) keypoints based on the plurality of 2D keypoints and the respective camera poses of the plurality of keyframes.
