摄像头与激光雷达是自动驾驶的核心传感器。二者数据融合可弥补单一传感器的不足,但依赖精确的外参标定。现有学习方法多为单步预测,虽有少数采用多尺度模型或集成策略提升精度,但训练耗时长且需额外存储。为此,本文提出一种基于代理扩散的单模型迭代优化方法,显著增强标定能力。通过自研缓冲技术,推理时间比多尺度模型减少43.7%。设计双分支标定网络作为去噪器,分别采用投影优先与编码优先结构以高效提取点特征。大量实验表明,该扩散模型在单模型迭代方法中表现最优,并达到与多尺度模型相当的性能。其去噪器相比次优方法旋转误差降低24.5%;应用扩散机制后,旋转误差下降20.4%,翻译误差减少9.6%。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Cameras and LiDAR are essential sensors for autonomous vehicles. Camera-LiDAR data fusion compensate for deficiencies of stand-alone sensors but relies on precise extrinsic calibration. Many learning-based calibration methods predict extrinsic parameters in a single step. Driven by the growing demand for higher accuracy, a few approaches utilize multi-range models or integrate multiple methods to improve extrinsic parameter predictions, but these strategies incur extended training times and require additional storage for separate models. To address these issues, we propose a single-model iterative approach based on surrogate diffusion to significantly enhance the capacity of individual calibration methods. By applying a buffering technique proposed by us, the inference time of our surrogate diffusion is 43.7% less than that of multi-range models. Additionally, we create a calibration network as our denoiser, featuring both projection-first and encoding-first branches for effective point feature extraction. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our diffusion model outperforms other single-model iterative methods and delivers competitive results compared to multi-range models. Our denoiser exceeds state-of-the-art calibration methods, reducing the rotation error by 24.5% compared to the second-best method. Furthermore, with the proposed diffusion applied, it achieves 20.4% less rotation error and 9.6% less translation error.
