Map++: Towards User-Participatory Visual SLAM Systems with Efficient Map Expansion and Sharing
- 通过用户众包方式,基于现有SLAM算法实现地图动态扩展。
- 相比基线系统减少46%流量,支持两倍并发用户,精度损失小于0.03米。
- 已映射路径用户可复用地图,节省47%的CPU资源,适合导航系统开发者。
构建精确的3D地图对自动驾驶、导航等基于地图的系统至关重要。然而,在多层车库或商场等复杂环境中生成地图仍具挑战性。本文提出一种用户参与式感知方法,将地图构建任务交由用户完成,实现低成本、持续的数据采集。所提方法通过开发Map++系统,作为即插即用的扩展模块,基于现有SLAM算法支持用户参与的地图构建。Map++针对该系统中的可扩展性问题,设计了一套轻量级应用层协议。我们在四种典型场景中评估:室内车库、室外广场、公开SLAM基准和模拟环境。结果表明,与基线系统相比,Map++可降低约46%的流量,地图精度下降不足0.03米;在相同网络带宽下,可支持约2倍的并发用户数。对于沿已有地图轨迹移动的用户,可直接使用已有地图进行定位,节省47%的CPU资源。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Constructing precise 3D maps is crucial for the development of future map-based systems such as self-driving and navigation. However, generating these maps in complex environments, such as multi-level parking garages or shopping malls, remains a formidable challenge. In this paper, we introduce a participatory sensing approach that delegates map-building tasks to map users, thereby enabling cost-effective and continuous data collection. The proposed method harnesses the collective efforts of users, facilitating the expansion and ongoing update of the maps as the environment evolves. We realized this approach by developing Map++, an efficient system that functions as a plug-and-play extension, supporting participatory map-building based on existing SLAM algorithms. Map++ addresses a plethora of scalability issues in this participatory map-building system by proposing a set of lightweight, application-layer protocols. We evaluated Map++ in four representative settings: an indoor garage, an outdoor plaza, a public SLAM benchmark, and a simulated environment. The results demonstrate that Map++ can reduce traffic volume by approximately 46% with negligible degradation in mapping accuracy, i.e., less than 0.03m compared to the baseline system. It can support approximately $2 \times$ as many concurrent users as the baseline under the same network bandwidth. Additionally, for users who travel on already-mapped trajectories, they can directly utilize the existing maps for localization and save 47% of the CPU usage.
