Autonomous harvesting and transportation is a long-term goal of the forest industry. One of the main challenges is the accurate localization of both vehicles and trees in a forest. Forests are unstructured environments where it is difficult to find a group of significant landmarks for current fast feature-based place recognition algorithms. This paper proposes a novel approach where local point clouds are matched to a global tree map using the Delaunay triangularization as the representation format. Instead of point cloud based matching methods, we utilize a topology-based method. First, tree trunk positions are registered at a prior run done by a forest harvester. Second, the resulting map is Delaunay triangularized. Third, a local submap of the autonomous robot is registered, triangularized and matched using triangular similarity maximization to estimate the position of the robot. We test our method on a dataset accumulated from a forestry site at Lieksa, Finland. A total length of 200 m of harvester path was recorded by an industrial harvester with a 3D laser scanner and a geolocation unit fixed to the frame. Our experiments show a 12 cm s.t.d. in the location accuracy and with real-time data processing for speeds not exceeding 0.5 m/s. The accuracy and speed limit are realistic during forest operations.

A holistic semantic scene understanding exploiting all available sensor modalities is a core capability to master self-driving in complex everyday traffic. To this end, we present the SemanticKITTI dataset that provides point-wise semantic annotations of Velodyne HDL-64E point clouds of the KITTI Odometry Benchmark. Together with the data, we also published three benchmark tasks for semantic scene understanding covering different aspects of semantic scene understanding: (1) semantic segmentation for point-wise classification using single or multiple point clouds as input; (2) semantic scene completion for predictive reasoning on the semantics and occluded regions; and (3) panoptic segmentation combining point-wise classification and assigning individual instance identities to separate objects of the same class. In this article, we provide details on our dataset showing an unprecedented number of fully annotated point cloud sequences, more information on our labeling process to efficiently annotate such a vast amount of point clouds, and lessons learned in this process. The dataset and resources are available at http://www.semantic-kitti.org .
