用惯性数据实时校正激光雷达运动畸变,实现无需注册的动态物体检测。
Real-Time Truly-Coupled Lidar-Inertial Motion Correction and Spatiotemporal Dynamic Object Detection
- 紧耦合激光雷达与惯性数据,通过11个状态变量建模连续运动轨迹。
- 在100毫秒时间窗内完成点云去畸变,提取时空法向量表征速度。
- 无需全局坐标对齐,直接基于法向量分类动态目标,适合实时系统。
过去十年中,激光雷达因其能提供高精度三维环境几何信息而成为机器人状态估计与感知的核心。然而,当前大多数激光雷达并非瞬间采集环境,而是持续扫描(约100毫秒),这种类似滚动快门的机制导致点云产生运动畸变,影响下游感知任务。本文提出一种新型激光雷达数据去畸变方法,通过紧耦合激光雷达与惯性测量单元(IMU)数据实现。该方法基于连续预积分的IMU测量,仅用11个离散状态变量(偏置、初始速度和重力方向)参数化传感器的6自由度连续轨迹。去畸变过程采用基于特征的点线/点面距离最小化,在非线性最小二乘框架下求解。得到去畸变的短时窗几何数据后,该流水线计算每个激光点的时空法向量,其时间分量作为点速度代理,从而实现无需训练的动态物体分类,且无需全局参考系下的配准。我们在公开数据集上验证了该方法及其各组件的有效性,并与最先进的激光-惯性状态估计及动态物体检测算法进行了对比。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Over the past decade, lidars have become a cornerstone of robotics state estimation and perception thanks to their ability to provide accurate geometric information about their surroundings in the form of 3D scans. Unfortunately, most of nowadays lidars do not take snapshots of the environment but sweep the environment over a period of time (typically around 100 ms). Such a rolling-shutter-like mechanism introduces motion distortion into the collected lidar scan, thus hindering downstream perception applications. In this paper, we present a novel method for motion distortion correction of lidar data by tightly coupling lidar with Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) data. The motivation of this work is a map-free dynamic object detection based on lidar. The proposed lidar data undistortion method relies on continuous preintegrated of IMU measurements that allow parameterising the sensors' continuous 6-DoF trajectory using solely eleven discrete state variables (biases, initial velocity, and gravity direction). The undistortion consists of feature-based distance minimisation of point-to-line and point-to-plane residuals in a non-linear least-square formulation. Given undistorted geometric data over a short temporal window, the proposed pipeline computes the spatiotemporal normal vector of each of the lidar points. The temporal component of the normals is a proxy for the corresponding point's velocity, therefore allowing for learning-free dynamic object classification without the need for registration in a global reference frame. We demonstrate the soundness of the proposed method and its different components using public datasets and compare them with state-of-the-art lidar-inertial state estimation and dynamic object detection algorithms.
