MAD-BA: 3D LiDAR Bundle Adjustment -- from Uncertainty Modelling to Structure Optimization

ICRA 2026poster

The joint optimization of sensor poses and 3D structure is fundamental for state estimation in robotics and related fields. Current LiDAR systems often prioritize pose optimization, with structure refinement either omitted or treated separately using implicit representations. This paper introduces a…

MAD-ICP: It is All About Matching Data - Robust and Informed LiDAR Odometry

RA-L 2024

LiDAR odometry is the task of estimating the ego-motion of the sensor from sequential laser scans. This problem has been addressed by the community for more than two decades, and many effective solutions are available nowadays. Most of these systems implicitly rely on assumptions about the operating
