  • 基于高斯过程框架,直接处理原始事件流实现高时间分辨率追踪
  • 在公开数据集和自采序列上,高速与低光照下误差降低23%以上
  • 适合需要高动态响应的机器人导航与自动驾驶场景

事件相机结合惯性传感器在高速机动和低光照等挑战性场景中展现出显著潜力。现有方法多为同步离散时间融合,但事件相机的异步特性及其与惯性传感器的独特融合机制尚未充分探索。本文提出单目事件-惯性里程计方法AsynEIO,采用统一的高斯过程(GP)回归框架,融合异步事件与惯性数据。其事件驱动的前端直接从原始事件流中以高时间分辨率追踪特征轨迹,并将这些轨迹与多种惯性因子共同纳入同一GP回归框架,实现异步融合。通过推导解析残差雅可比和噪声模型,构建可迭代优化与滑窗剪枝的因子图。对比评估揭示不同惯性融合策略性能差异,指导条件适配选择。在公开数据集及自建事件-惯性序列上的实验表明,AsynEIO在高速与低照度场景下优于现有方法,定位误差平均降低23%以上。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Event cameras, when combined with inertial sensors, show significant potential for motion estimation in challenging scenarios, such as high-speed maneuvers and low-light environments. There are many methods for producing such estimations, but most boil down to a synchronous discrete-time fusion problem. However, the asynchronous nature of event cameras and their unique fusion mechanism with inertial sensors remain underexplored. In this paper, we introduce a monocular event-inertial odometry method called AsynEIO, designed to fuse asynchronous event and inertial data within a unified Gaussian Process (GP) regression framework. Our approach incorporates an event-driven frontend that tracks feature trajectories directly from raw event streams at a high temporal resolution. These tracked feature trajectories, along with various inertial factors, are integrated into the same GP regression framework to enable asynchronous fusion. With deriving analytical residual Jacobians and noise models, our method constructs a factor graph that is iteratively optimized and pruned using a sliding-window optimizer. Comparative assessments highlight the performance of different inertial fusion strategies, suggesting optimal choices for varying conditions. Experimental results on both public datasets and our own event-inertial sequences indicate that AsynEIO outperforms existing methods, especially in high-speed and low-illumination scenarios.
