PointNetPGAP-SLC: A 3D LiDAR-Based Place Recognition Approach With Segment-Level Consistency Training for Mobile Robots in Horticulture

3D LiDAR-based place recognition remains largely underexplored in horticultural environments, which present unique challenges due to their semi-permeable nature to laser beams. This characteristic often results in highly similar LiDAR scans from adjacent rows, leading to descriptor ambiguity and, co
