本文提出Voxel-SLAM:一个完整、精准且通用的激光惯性SLAM系统,通过充分利用短时、中时、长时及多地图数据关联,实现实时状态估计与高精度建图。系统包含初始化、里程计、局部建图、回环检测和全局建图五个模块,均采用统一的自适应体素地图表示。初始化提供精确初始状态与一致局部地图,支持高动态起始。里程计利用短时关联快速估计当前状态并检测可能发散。局部建图通过滑动窗口内的激光惯性束光调整(BA)优化近期状态与局部地图。回环检测识别当前与历史会话中的已访问位置。全局建图通过高效的分层全局BA优化全局地图,同时利用长时与多地图关联。在三个典型场景共30条序列上与先进方法进行综合对比,涵盖手持窄室内外、无人机大尺度野外环境及车辆城市场景。实验还验证了初始化的鲁棒性、多会话运行能力及退化环境重定位性能。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
In this work, we present Voxel-SLAM: a complete, accurate, and versatile LiDAR-inertial SLAM system that fully utilizes short-term, mid-term, long-term, and multi-map data associations to achieve real-time estimation and high precision mapping. The system consists of five modules: initialization, odometry, local mapping, loop closure, and global mapping, all employing the same map representation, an adaptive voxel map. The initialization provides an accurate initial state estimation and a consistent local map for subsequent modules, enabling the system to start with a highly dynamic initial state. The odometry, exploiting the short-term data association, rapidly estimates current states and detects potential system divergence. The local mapping, exploiting the mid-term data association, employs a local LiDAR-inertial bundle adjustment (BA) to refine the states (and the local map) within a sliding window of recent LiDAR scans. The loop closure detects previously visited places in the current and all previous sessions. The global mapping refines the global map with an efficient hierarchical global BA. The loop closure and global mapping both exploit long-term and multi-map data associations. We conducted a comprehensive benchmark comparison with other state-of-the-art methods across 30 sequences from three representative scenes, including narrow indoor environments using hand-held equipment, large-scale wilderness environments with aerial robots, and urban environments on vehicle platforms. Other experiments demonstrate the robustness and efficiency of the initialization, the capacity to work in multiple sessions, and relocalization in degenerated environments.
