Dr-LiSA: Direct Radar-Lidar Scan Alignment for $SE(3)$ Localization

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 22, 2026 · UTC

This paper introduces Dr-LiSA, a first-of-its-kind direct method for localizing 2D spinning radar intensity measurements in $SE(3)$ against 3D lidar maps. Radar-lidar localization combines the complementary strengths of the two sensing modalities: radar is robust to adverse weather and precipitation, while lidar provides high-fidelity 3D maps in favourable conditions. However, existing radar-lidar localization methods are restricted to planar $SE(2)$ localization and have generally fallen short of the accuracy achieved by lidar-lidar and even radar-radar systems. A key challenge is the substan
