用学习方法选关键点,让激光雷达定位更准更快。

LiDAR Inertial Odometry And Mapping Using Learned Registration-Relevant Features

  • 用神经网络自动挑选对配准有用的点,替代人工设计特征
  • 仅用20%点就实现与主流方法相当甚至更好的定位精度
  • 适合需要长时间运行的自动驾驶系统,兼顾速度与内存

SLAM是众多自主系统的关键能力,现代基于激光雷达的方法表现优异。但在长时间任务中,现有直接处理完整点云或提取特征的方法在精度与计算效率间存在权衡(如内存消耗)。为此,本文提出DFLIOM,其核心创新在于采用学习式方法,自动选择对点云配准相关的点。不同于依赖人工设计规则和调参的传统方法,本方法通过训练网络筛选出高价值点。我们在先前工作DLIOM基础上引入该特征提取器,发现仅使用密集点云约20%的点即可实现相似甚至更优的定位性能。在多个公开基准测试中,相比最先进方法(DLIOM),DFLIOM定位误差降低2.4%,内存使用减少57.5%。尽管特征提取增加少量时间开销,但后续处理加速明显,实现在20Hz激光雷达下实时运行。对比多个手工特征提取器,验证了学习模块的有效性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

SLAM is an important capability for many autonomous systems, and modern LiDAR-based methods offer promising performance. However, for long duration missions, existing works that either operate directly the full pointclouds or on extracted features face key tradeoffs in accuracy and computational efficiency (e.g., memory consumption). To address these issues, this paper presents DFLIOM with several key innovations. Unlike previous methods that rely on handcrafted heuristics and hand-tuned parameters for feature extraction, we propose a learning-based approach that select points relevant to LiDAR SLAM pointcloud registration. Furthermore, we extend our prior work DLIOM with the learned feature extractor and observe our method enables similar or even better localization performance using only about 20\% of the points in the dense point clouds. We demonstrate that DFLIOM performs well on multiple public benchmarks, achieving a 2.4\% decrease in localization error and 57.5\% decrease in memory usage compared to state-of-the-art methods (DLIOM). Although extracting features with the proposed network requires extra time, it is offset by the faster processing time downstream, thus maintaining real-time performance using 20Hz LiDAR on our hardware setup. The effectiveness of our learning-based feature extraction module is further demonstrated through comparison with several handcrafted feature extractors.
