从激光雷达点云高效准确地重建大规模室外环境是机器人领域的基础挑战,尤其需保证表面平滑且无伪影。尽管现有先进方法采用内存高效的神经表示生成高保真表面,但常因输入噪声和稀疏导致伪影。为此,本文将表面映射建模为物理信息能量优化问题,通过优化一个惩罚尖锐表面脊线的能量泛函来强制表面平滑。提出一种基于深度学习的方法,利用物理信息损失函数从原始激光雷达点云学习表面的有符号距离场(SDF),该损失函数优化表面的 $L_2$-赫斯矩阵能量。学习框架包含基于八叉树的层次化输入特征编码和多尺度神经网络,用于在不同分辨率下迭代细化有符号距离场。最后引入测试时精修策略,修正生成网格中的拓扑不一致和边缘畸变。我们提出一种基于 exttt{CUDA} 加速的最小二乘优化,局部调整顶点位置以实现保持特征的平滑。在大规模户外数据集上的评估表明,本方法在准确性和表面平滑性方面均优于当前最先进方法。代码已开源。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Accurate and efficient 3D mapping of large-scale outdoor environments from LiDAR measurements is a fundamental challenge in robotics, particularly towards ensuring smooth and artifact-free surface reconstructions. Although the state-of-the-art methods focus on memory-efficient neural representations for high-fidelity surface generation, they often fail to produce artifact-free manifolds, with artifacts arising due to noisy and sparse inputs. To address this issue, we frame surface mapping as a physics-informed energy optimization problem, enforcing surface smoothness by optimizing an energy functional that penalizes sharp surface ridges. Specifically, we propose a deep learning based approach that learns the signed distance field (SDF) of the surface manifold from raw LiDAR point clouds using a physics-informed loss function that optimizes the $L_2$-Hessian energy of the surface. Our learning framework includes a hierarchical octree based input feature encoding and a multi-scale neural network to iteratively refine the signed distance field at different scales of resolution. Lastly, we introduce a test-time refinement strategy to correct topological inconsistencies and edge distortions that can arise in the generated mesh. We propose a \texttt{CUDA}-accelerated least-squares optimization that locally adjusts vertex positions to enforce feature-preserving smoothing. We evaluate our approach on large-scale outdoor datasets and demonstrate that our approach outperforms current state-of-the-art methods in terms of improved accuracy and smoothness.
