The challenges of point cloud registration in intelligent vehicle driving lie in the large scale, complex distribution, high noise, and strong sparsity of lidar point cloud data. This paper proposes an efficient registration algorithm for large-scale outdoor road scenes by selecting the continuous distribution of key area laser point clouds as the registration point cloud. The algorithm extracts feature descriptions of the key point cloud and introduces local geometric features of the point cloud to complete rough and fine registration under constraints of key point clouds and point cloud features. The algorithm is verified through extensive experiments under multiple scenarios, with an average registration time of 0.5831 s and an average accuracy of 0.06996 m, showing significant improvement compared to other algorithms. The algorithm is also validated through real-vehicle experiments, demonstrating strong versatility, reliability, and efficiency. This research has the potential to improve environment perception capabilities of autonomous vehicles by solving the point cloud registration problem in large outdoor scenes.
