In this paper we present a novel approach to quickly obtain detailed 3D reconstructions of large scale environments. The method is based on the consecutive registration of 3D point clouds generated by modern lidar scanners such as the Velodyne HDL-32e or HDL-64e. The main contribution of this work is that the proposed system specifically deals with the problem of sparsity and inhomogeneity of the point clouds typically produced by these scanners. More specifically, we combine the simplicity of the traditional iterative closest point (ICP) algorithm with the analysis of the underlying surface of each point in a local neighbourhood. The algorithm was evaluated on our own collected dataset captured with accurate ground truth. The experiments demonstrate that the system is producing highly detailed 3D maps at the speed of 10 sensor frames per second.
