Among other things, techniques are described for identifying, in a light detection and ranging (LiDAR) scan line, a first LiDAR data point and a plurality of LiDAR data points within a vicinity of the first LiDAR data point. The techniques may further include identifying, based on a comparison of the first LiDAR data point to at least one LiDAR data point of the plurality of LiDAR return points, a coefficient of the first LiDAR data point, wherein the coefficient is related to image smoothness. The techniques may further include identifying, based on a comparison of the coefficient to a threshold, whether to include the first LiDAR data point in an updated LiDAR scan line, and then identifying, based on the updated LiDAR scan line, a location of the autonomous vehicle.
