However, the performance of LiDAR SLAM may be degraded when running in degenerate scenario, which makes it still a challenging problem to realize real-time, robust, and accurate state estimation in complex environments. In this article, we propose a keyframe-based 3-D LiDAR SLAM using an accurate principal component analysis (PCA)-based feature extraction method and an efficient two-stage matching strategy, toward a more robust, accurate, and globally consistent estimation performance. The effectiveness and performance are demonstrated and evaluated by comparing our method with the state-of-the-art open-source methods, LOAM and LeGo-LOAM, on KITTI datasets and custom datasets collected by our sensor system. The experimental results show obvious improvement of odometry accuracy and mapping consistency without loss of real-time performance. 收起
