## Abstract

This work tackles the challenge of enhancing low-resolution LiDAR sensors for SLAM applications through a novel Deep Unrolling-based Super-Resolution (SR) model. We integrate an outlier removal module to ensure structural integrity while maintaining real-time performance. By leveraging a model-based optimization approach, our method efficiently reconstructs high-resolution point clouds while minimizing computational overhead. The proposed SR model is evaluated within a LiDAR SLAM framework, demonstrating significant improvements in pose estimation accuracy and efficiency compared to state-of-the-art SR methods.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
