• Most existing LOAM frameworks are deficient in depicting details of large-scale complex scenes due to reliance on supervision or lack of reconstruction fidelity.limitation 80%
  Evidencepartial

  Most existing LOAM frameworks are either contingent on the supervision signal, or lack of the reconstruction fidelity, which are deficient in depicting details of large-scale complex scenes.

  Implicationpartial

  Directly stated as a limitation of existing methods that motivates the work, though it is a broad claim about the field.
