Abstract

In one embodiment, a system receives a stream of frames of point clouds from one or more LIDAR sensors of an ADV and corresponding poses in real-time. The system extracts segment information for each frame of the stream based on geometric or spatial attributes of points in the frame, where the segment information includes one or more segments of at least a first frame corresponding to a first pose. The system registers the stream of frames based on the segment information. The system generates a first point cloud map for the stream of frames based on the frame registration.
