Abstract

An efficient approach to reconstruct the scanner trajectory of the mobile LIDAR system from the point cloud with minimal user parameters. The process of reconstructing trajectory comprises four steps: (1) spin rate estimation, (2) scan plane estimation, (3) scan origin estimation, and (4) global smoothing.
