The vertical road profile is modeled by a cubic B-spline curve, which is known to be accurate and flexible but difficult to estimate under a large proportion of outliers. ...
To robustly estimate a cubic B-spline curve, the proposed method utilizes a two-step strategy that initially estimates a piecewise linear function and then obtains a cubic B-spline curve based on the initial ...
