用高斯模型提升毫米波雷达里程计精度,抗噪更强。

4D Radar-Inertial Odometry based on Gaussian Modeling and Multi-Hypothesis Scan Matching

  • 用全局优化的3D高斯表示雷达场景,替代传统体素法。
  • 通过多假设扫描匹配,显著减少局部最优误差。
  • 在真实雷达-惯性里程计任务中表现优于现有方法。

4D毫米波雷达在恶劣天气下具有强鲁棒性,日益应用于里程计与SLAM。然而,其返回点云数据稀疏且噪声大,给现有配准算法带来挑战,尤其针对原本为高精度传感器(如LiDAR)设计的方法。受3D高斯泼溅在视觉领域的成功启发,本文提出基于全局联合优化3D高斯的雷达场景摘要表示方法,利用其固有的概率密度函数(PDF)进行配准。此外,我们通过优化多个注册假设,增强对PDF局部极小值的抵抗能力。在公开的4D雷达数据集上评估表明,该方法生成更丰富的场景模型,配准精度更高。最终,在真实雷达-惯性里程计任务中验证了系统有效性,部分序列性能超越现有算法。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

4D millimeter-wave (mmWave) radars are sensors that provide robustness against adverse weather conditions (rain, snow, fog, etc.), and as such they are increasingly used for odometry and SLAM (Simultaneous Location and Mapping). However, the noisy and sparse nature of the returned scan data proves to be a challenging obstacle for existing registration algorithms, especially those originally intended for more accurate sensors such as LiDAR. Following the success of 3D Gaussian Splatting for vision, in this paper we propose a summarized representation for radar scenes based on global simultaneous optimization of 3D Gaussians as opposed to voxel-based approaches, and leveraging its inherent Probability Density Function (PDF) for registration. Moreover, we propose optimizing multiple registration hypotheses for better protection against local optima of the PDF. We evaluate our modeling and registration system against state of the art techniques, finding that our system provides richer models and more accurate registration results. Finally, we evaluate the effectiveness of our system in a real Radar-Inertial Odometry task. Experiments using publicly available 4D radar datasets show that our Gaussian approach is comparable to existing registration algorithms, outperforming them in several sequences. Copyright 2026 IEEE.
