COIN-LIO combines LiDAR intensity images with geometric and inertial measurements to improve odometry in geometrically weak scenes. It filters intensity images and selects patches whose gradients complement directions poorly constrained by geometry. On the 179.71-meter TunnelD sequence it achieves 1.59% relative translational error, compared with FAST-LIO2’s 81.31%. It stays below the failure threshold across ten ENWIDE sequences, using high-resolution LiDARs.
