iKalibr-RGBD: Partially-Specialized Target-Free Visual-Inertial Spatiotemporal Calibration For RGBDs via Continuous-Time Velocity Estimation

  • 用连续时间速度估计替代传统定位,省去地图构建
  • 相比原方法计算量减少,适合实时部署
  • 开源实现,适合做多传感器融合的研究者

视觉-惯性系统因其低成本、低功耗、体积小和高可用性,在过去二十年中得到广泛应用。准确的时空参数是视觉-惯性融合的前提,因此相关校准方法层出不穷。此前我们提出的iKalibr基于连续时间建模,实现了一次性多传感器鲁棒时空校准,但依赖人工目标虽方便,初始化与批量优化中仍需昂贵的姿态估计,限制了实用性。针对配备深度信息的RGBD相机,本工作提出iKalibr-RGBD:一种无需标定靶、基于连续时间自运动速度估计的高效校准方法。该方法继承iKalibr框架,包含严谨的初始化流程与多轮连续时间批量优化。整个实现已开源(https://github.com/Unsigned-Long/iKalibr),可促进相关研究发展。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Visual-inertial systems have been widely studied and applied in the last two decades (from the early 2000s to the present), mainly due to their low cost and power consumption, small footprint, and high availability. Such a trend simultaneously leads to a large amount of visual-inertial calibration methods being presented, as accurate spatiotemporal parameters between sensors are a prerequisite for visual-inertial fusion. In our previous work, i.e., iKalibr, a continuous-time-based visual-inertial calibration method was proposed as a part of one-shot multi-sensor resilient spatiotemporal calibration. While requiring no artificial target brings considerable convenience, computationally expensive pose estimation is demanded in initialization and batch optimization, limiting its availability. Fortunately, this could be vastly improved for the RGBDs with additional depth information, by employing mapping-free ego-velocity estimation instead of mapping-based pose estimation. In this paper, we present the continuous-time ego-velocity estimation-based RGBD-inertial spatiotemporal calibration, termed as iKalibr-RGBD, which is also targetless but computationally efficient. The general pipeline of iKalibr-RGBD is inherited from iKalibr, composed of a rigorous initialization procedure and several continuous-time batch optimizations. The implementation of iKalibr-RGBD is open-sourced at (https://github.com/Unsigned-Long/iKalibr) to benefit the research community.
