OpenGV 2.0: Motion prior-assisted calibration and SLAM with vehicle-mounted surround-view systems
- 基于车辆非完整运动特性设计三类优化模块,解决环视系统视场重叠少带来的标定难题。
- 在公开的大规模城市数据集上实现厘米级轨迹精度,显著优于传统方法。
- 适合自动驾驶、智能交通等需高精度定位的车载视觉系统开发者使用。
本文提出基于优化的视觉SLAM方法,针对车载环视相机系统展开研究。由于此类系统通常仅配备单个朝向摄像头且视场重叠有限,导致外参标定困难。本文创新性地设计了三个优化模块:利用两视图几何实现在线外参标定;基于相对位移的可靠前端初始化;采用连续时间轨迹模型进行精确后端优化。所有模块均利用车辆固有的非完整运动先验,有效规避了阿克曼转向车辆中常见的变换变量部分不可观测问题。进一步,构建了一个专为阿克曼车辆在城市环境中部署的新型环视相机SLAM系统。通过深入的消融实验验证各模块有效性,并在公开的大规模在线数据集上成功应用,证明了整个框架的实用性。论文接受后,将作为OpenGV库的扩展开源发布。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The present paper proposes optimization-based solutions to visual SLAM with a vehicle-mounted surround-view camera system. Owing to their original use-case, such systems often only contain a single camera facing into either direction and very limited overlap between fields of view. Our novelty consist of three optimization modules targeting at practical online calibration of exterior orientations from simple two-view geometry, reliable front-end initialization of relative displacements, and accurate back-end optimization using a continuous-time trajectory model. The commonality between the proposed modules is given by the fact that all three of them exploit motion priors that are related to the inherent non-holonomic characteristics of passenger vehicle motion. In contrast to prior related art, the proposed modules furthermore excel in terms of bypassing partial unobservabilities in the transformation variables that commonly occur for Ackermann-motion. As a further contribution, the modules are built into a novel surround-view camera SLAM system that specifically targets deployment on Ackermann vehicles operating in urban environments. All modules are studied in the context of in-depth ablation studies, and the practical validity of the entire framework is supported by a successful application to challenging, large-scale publicly available online datasets. Note that upon acceptance, the entire framework is scheduled for open-source release as part of an extension of the OpenGV library.
