PIDLoc: Cross-View Pose Optimization Network Inspired by PID Controllers
- 借鉴PID控制器,分三路处理特征差异增强定位
- 在KITTI数据集上位置误差降低37.8%创纪录
- 适合城市峡谷等信号弱场景的高精度定位
精准定位对自动驾驶至关重要,但GNSS在城市峡谷等复杂环境中表现不佳。交叉视图姿态优化通过卫星图像直接估计车辆姿态提供有效解决方案。然而,现有方法主要依赖特定姿态下的交叉视图特征,忽视了精细局部上下文以提升精度,以及全局上下文以应对大初始误差。为此,我们提出PIDLoc,一种受比例-积分-微分(PID)控制器启发的新型交叉视图姿态优化方法。该方法结合RGB图像与LiDAR,包含用于建模交叉视图特征关系的PID分支和基于空间感知的姿势估计算子(SPE)。PID分支利用特征差异捕捉局部上下文(P)、聚合特征差异获取全局上下文(I),以及特征差异梯度实现精确姿态调整(D),从而在大初始误差下仍能保持高精度。集成于PID分支之上,SPE捕获分支内特征的空间关系,实现一致定位。实验表明,PIDLoc在KITTI数据集上的交叉视图姿态估计任务中达到最新最优性能,相比先前最优方法位置误差降低37.8%。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Accurate localization is essential for autonomous driving, but GNSS-based methods struggle in challenging environments such as urban canyons. Cross-view pose optimization offers an effective solution by directly estimating vehicle pose using satellite-view images. However, existing methods primarily rely on cross-view features at a given pose, neglecting fine-grained contexts for precision and global contexts for robustness against large initial pose errors. To overcome these limitations, we propose PIDLoc, a novel cross-view pose optimization approach inspired by the proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller. Using RGB images and LiDAR, the PIDLoc comprises the PID branches to model cross-view feature relationships and the spatially aware pose estimator (SPE) to estimate the pose from these relationships. The PID branches leverage feature differences for local context (P), aggregated feature differences for global context (I), and gradients of feature differences for precise pose adjustment (D) to enhance localization accuracy under large initial pose errors. Integrated with the PID branches, the SPE captures spatial relationships within the PID-branch features for consistent localization. Experimental results demonstrate that the PIDLoc achieves state-of-the-art performance in cross-view pose estimation for the KITTI dataset, reducing position error by $37.8\%$ compared with the previous state-of-the-art.
