RACIF-SLAM: Reliability-Aware Conflict-Gated LiDAR and W-Band Radar Fusion for Continuous Near-Coastal Localization and Hierarchical Occupancy Mapping
Reliable near-coastal localization is difficult because LiDAR and scanning radar fail in complementary regimes: LiDAR provides precise local geometry but loses support over open water, whereas radar preserves long-range observations but suffers from clutter, multipath, and low spatial resolution. We present RACIF-SLAM,...
