Environment-Driven Online LiDAR-Camera Extrinsic Calibration
- 用环境特征密度引导多视角特征提取,提升校准精度
- 通过结构与纹理一致性匹配实现跨模态可靠对应
- 支持真实场景下稀疏点云和部分重叠视图的校准
LiDAR-相机外参标定(LCEC)对自主机器人系统中的多模态数据融合至关重要。现有方法或依赖定制标定靶,或限定于固定场景,限制了实际应用。为此,我们提出首个环境驱动的在线标定方法EdO-LCEC。不同于传统无靶方法,EdO-LCEC采用可泛化的场景判别器估计环境特征密度,据此从不同视角提取激光强度与深度特征以提高标定精度。为解决激光与相机间跨模态特征匹配难题,引入双路径对应匹配(DPCM),利用结构与纹理一致性实现可靠的3D-2D对应关系。此外,将标定过程建模为联合优化问题,整合多视角、多场景的全局约束,进一步提升整体精度。在真实数据集上的大量实验表明,该方法优于当前最优方法,尤其在点云稀疏或传感器视图部分重叠场景中表现更优。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
LiDAR-camera extrinsic calibration (LCEC) is crucial for multi-modal data fusion in autonomous robotic systems. Existing methods, whether target-based or target-free, typically rely on customized calibration targets or fixed scene types, which limit their applicability in real-world scenarios. To address these challenges, we present EdO-LCEC, the first environment-driven online calibration approach. Unlike traditional target-free methods, EdO-LCEC employs a generalizable scene discriminator to estimate the feature density of the application environment. Guided by this feature density, EdO-LCEC extracts LiDAR intensity and depth features from varying perspectives to achieve higher calibration accuracy. To overcome the challenges of cross-modal feature matching between LiDAR and camera, we introduce dual-path correspondence matching (DPCM), which leverages both structural and textural consistency for reliable 3D-2D correspondences. Furthermore, we formulate the calibration process as a joint optimization problem that integrates global constraints across multiple views and scenes, thereby enhancing overall accuracy. Extensive experiments on real-world datasets demonstrate that EdO-LCEC outperforms state-of-the-art methods, particularly in scenarios involving sparse point clouds or partially overlapping sensor views.
