Visual Point Cloud Map Construction and Matching Localization for Autonomous Vehicle by Shuchen Xu, Kedong Zhao, Yongrong Sun, Xiyu Fu, Kang Luo

“…In the absence of satellite signals, we segment the prior VPCM on the road network based on real-time localization results, which accelerates matching speed and reduces mismatch probability. Simultaneously, by continuously introducing matching constraints of real-time point cloud and prior VPCM through improved iterative closest point matching method, the proposed solution can effectively suppress the drift error of the odometry and output accurate fusion localization results based on pose graph optimization theory. …”

Effect of Medicaid accountable care on preventable emergency department and hospital admissions: rural-urban heterogeneity by Jangho Yoon, Seungbeen Ghim, Jeff Luck

“…This study examined the heterogeneous impact of Coordinated Care Organizations (CCOs), an accountable care model implemented in Oregon Medicaid, on preventable emergency department (ED) and hospital admissions by rurality of residence.MethodsUsing person-month panel data on 131,246 adults aged 18–64 continuously enrolled in Oregon Medicaid between 2011 and 2015, we employed a doubly-robust difference-in-differences approach to isolate the impacts of the CCO model on the number of ED visits and the probability of hospital admissions, separately for all-cause and preventable admissions.ResultsThe CCO model was associated with reductions of 25 all-cause ED visits and 22 preventable ED visits per 1,000 persons per month during the first three years. …”
