飞行时间(ToF)深度相机因其实时获取3D信息的能力,已成为敏捷移动机器人不可或缺的部件。这类相机利用光信号精确测量距离,使机器人能够精准导航复杂环境。新型紧凑轻量的PMD Flexx2深度相机特别适用于移动机器人,可在高帧率下捕捉深度数据,适用于机器人导航与地形测绘等任务。该传感器基于ToF原理,相比传统立体视觉相机具有多项优势。然而,其生成的深度图像受多重噪声源影响,给仿真带来挑战。本文提出了对PMD Flexx2非系统性噪声的精确量化与建模,针对不同工作模式建立轴向与侧向噪声模型,假设其服从高斯分布。轴向噪声随距离与入射角变化,平均Kullback-Leibler(KL)散度仅为0.015纳特,表明建模高度准确;侧向噪声偏离高斯分布,采用保守建模策略后仍达到0.868纳特的合理KL散度。结果验证了噪声模型的有效性,对在虚拟环境中准确模拟传感器行为、缩小学习驱动控制方法的‘仿真-现实’差距具有重要意义。
