提出基于置信度的数据关联,提升动态环境下激光雷达SLAM与目标跟踪的联合性能。

LiDAR SLAMMOT based on Confidence-guided Data Association

  • 引入置信度指导的数据关联,融合激光雷达SLAM与多目标跟踪的图优化后端。
  • 在存在连续误检的场景下,定位与跟踪精度显著优于传统方法。
  • 适合复杂动态环境中的自动驾驶系统,尤其对遮挡鲁棒性更强。

在自动驾驶或机器人领域,同时定位与建图(SLAM)和多目标跟踪(MOT)是两个核心问题,通常分别处理。现有SLAM方法依赖静态环境假设,而MOT则依赖精确的自身车辆位姿假设,在复杂动态环境中难以满足。因此,融合SLAM与目标跟踪的联合系统——SLAMMOT应运而生。然而,许多传统方法直接对预测与检测进行数据关联,忽略其可靠性。实际中,因临时遮挡导致连续多帧漏检,会引发预测不准,进而降低跟踪性能,影响整体表现。为此,本文提出基于置信度引导数据关联的激光雷达SLAMMOT方法(Conf SLAMMOT),将激光雷达SLAM与置信度驱动的多目标跟踪紧密耦合于图优化后端,实现对自身车辆状态与物体状态的联合估计。通过在因子图中引入预测与检测的置信度,避免了滤波类方法中错误初始分配的问题,有效应对连续漏检,提升整体性能。大量对比实验表明,该方法在存在漏检的场景中具有显著优势。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

In the field of autonomous driving or robotics, simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) and multi-object tracking (MOT) are two fundamental problems and are generally applied separately. Solutions to SLAM and MOT usually rely on certain assumptions, such as the static environment assumption for SLAM and the accurate ego-vehicle pose assumption for MOT. But in complex dynamic environments, it is difficult or even impossible to meet these assumptions. Therefore, the SLAMMOT, i.e., simultaneous localization, mapping, and moving object tracking, integrated system of SLAM and object tracking, has emerged for autonomous vehicles in dynamic environments. However, many conventional SLAMMOT solutions directly perform data association on the predictions and detections for object tracking, but ignore their quality. In practice, inaccurate predictions caused by continuous multi-frame missed detections in temporary occlusion scenarios, may degrade the performance of tracking, thereby affecting SLAMMOT. To address this challenge, this paper presents a LiDAR SLAMMOT based on confidence-guided data association (Conf SLAMMOT) method, which tightly couples the LiDAR SLAM and the confidence-guided data association based multi-object tracking into a graph optimization backend for estimating the state of the ego-vehicle and objects simultaneously. The confidence of prediction and detection are applied in the factor graph-based multi-object tracking for its data association, which not only avoids the performance degradation caused by incorrect initial assignments in some filter-based methods but also handles issues such as continuous missed detection in tracking while also improving the overall performance of SLAMMOT. Various comparative experiments demonstrate the superior advantages of Conf SLAMMOT, especially in scenes with some missed detections.
