    Distance and angle error of ICP CUDA to match point cloud pairs with 4 m distance. (a) Using degradation factor; (b) Calculating but not using degradation factor
    Distance and angle error of ICP CUDA to match point cloud pairs with 8 m distance. (a) Using degradation factor; (b) Calculating but not using degradation factor
    (a) Range map of 3 segments of unban scene data with a duration of 5 min. (b1)-(b3) Relative translation error results of 3 segments of urban scene data excluding initialization stage; (c1)-(c3) Path results, where GT is the ground truth. VLIO mode has an average value of 0.2%-0.5% which is better than VIO and LIO mode
