Real-Time Loop Closure in 2D LIDAR SLAM

an IMU is used to estimate the orientation of gravity for projecting scans from the horizontally mounted LIDAR into the 2D world. In our local approach, each consecutive scan is matched against a small chunk of the world, called a submap M, using a non-linear optimization that aligns the scan with the

Assuming that page layout analysis has already provided text regions of a roughly uniform text size, a simple percentile height filter removes drop-caps and vertically touching characters. The median height approximates the text size in the region, so it is safe to
