For autonomous vehicles and advanced driver assistance systems, information on the actual state of the environment is fundamental for localization and mapping tasks. Localization benefits from multiple observations of the same location at different times as these may provide important information on static and mobile objects. For efficient mapping, the environment may be explored in parallel. For these purposes, multiple observations represented by grid maps have to be aligned into one mutual frame. This paper addresses the problem of group-wise grid map registration using an image processing approach. For registration, a rotational-invariant descriptor is proposed in order to provide the correspondences of points of interest in radar-based occupancy grid maps. As pairwise registration of multiple grid maps suffers from bias, this paper proposes a graph-based approach for robust registration of multiple grid maps. This will facilitate highly accurate range sensor maps for the aforementioned purposes. Large-scale experiments show the benefit of the proposed methods and compare it to state-of-the-art algorithms on radar measurements.
