Research on Mapping Error Control of Underground Space Mobile LiDAR Constrained by Cooperative Targets

In the underground environment, it is difficult to obtain spatial three-dimensional data because of occlusion and its complexity. Mobile light detection and ranging (LiDAR) measurement technology has the ability to obtain three-dimensional spatial information quickly and accurately, but in the underground environment, because of the lack of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) signal in the integrated navigation system, the measurement accuracy decreases with the increase of time. In this paper, an extended Kalman filter-based loose mode is constructed using the real coordinates of the center of gravity of the target and the measurement information of the laser foothold. It provides an additional space-time reference for the integrated navigation system of the mobile LiDAR system and restricts the errors. The simulation results show that the proposed method can effectively improve the measurement accuracy of mobile LiDAR system and enhance the 3D spatial perception ability of underground space.
