- 在高维描述符空间中动态采样,减少冗余信息。
- 实测降低闭环检测耗时与内存占用,支持室内外无缝切换。
- 无需调参即可适配不同场景,适合资源受限机器人系统。
近期机器人技术的发展推动了长期、大规模任务中的真实世界自主性,其中通过位置识别实现回环闭合对于缓解位姿估计漂移至关重要。然而,由于高密度采样带来的计算负担,资源受限的移动机器人和多机器人系统仍面临实时性能挑战,这增加了将查询样本与不断增长的地图数据库进行比较和验证的复杂性。传统方法常因固定采样间隔或在三维空间中操作,导致冗余信息保留或关键数据丢失。为此,我们提出采样空间概念,并设计一种新型激光雷达定位关键帧采样方法。该方法在高维描述符空间中最小化冗余,同时保留必要信息,兼容学习型与手工设计的特征描述子。所提方法采用滑动窗口优化策略,确保高效的关键帧选择与实时性能,可无缝集成至机器人处理流程中。实验表明,该方法在多种数据集上均表现稳健,能无需参数调整地适应从室内到室外的多样化场景,显著降低闭环检测时间与内存需求。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Recent advances in robotics are driving real-world autonomy for long-term and large-scale missions, where loop closures via place recognition are vital for mitigating pose estimation drift. However, achieving real-time performance remains challenging for resource-constrained mobile robots and multi-robot systems due to the computational burden of high-density sampling, which increases the complexity of comparing and verifying query samples against a growing map database. Conventional methods often retain redundant information or miss critical data by relying on fixed sampling intervals or operating in 3-D space instead of the descriptor feature space. To address these challenges, we introduce the concept of sample space and propose a novel keyframe sampling approach for LiDAR-based place recognition. Our method minimizes redundancy while preserving essential information in the hyper-dimensional descriptor space, supporting both learning-based and handcrafted descriptors. The proposed approach incorporates a sliding window optimization strategy to ensure efficient keyframe selection and real-time performance, enabling seamless integration into robotic pipelines. In sum, our approach demonstrates robust performance across diverse datasets, with the ability to adapt seamlessly from indoor to outdoor scenarios without parameter tuning, reducing loop closure detection times and memory requirements.
