利用激光扫描仪进行环境鲁棒、精确的定位与建图(即LiDAR SLAM),对众多机器人应用至关重要。早期3D LiDAR SLAM方法常依赖惯性测量单元(IMU)或全球导航卫星系统(GNSS)提升定位精度并抑制漂移。后期系统虽进一步提升了估计性能,但代价是更高的运行时间和复杂度。本文探索了仅使用激光雷达的SLAM方法在保持“保持简单”(KISS)原则下的极限表现。通过最小化设计,所提出的KISS-SLAM系统在位姿精度上达到当前最优水平,同时在不同环境、传感器和运动模式下几乎无需参数调整即可部署。系统采用图优化框架,结合激光里程计计算扫描间的相对运动,并构建局部地图;通过匹配局部地图并在姿态图优化中校正漂移。实验表明,该设计在降低复杂性的同时仍保持竞争力,减少了对额外传感器模态的依赖。本工作为激光雷达仅的SLAM提供了新的强基线,并为未来研究提供高性能起点。此外,其生成的一致地图可直接用于导航等下游任务。开源系统在所有测试数据集中均运行速度超过传感器帧率,专为真实场景设计。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Robust and accurate localization and mapping of an environment using laser scanners, so-called LiDAR SLAM, is essential to many robotic applications. Early 3D LiDAR SLAM methods often exploited additional information from IMU or GNSS sensors to enhance localization accuracy and mitigate drift. Later, advanced systems further improved the estimation at the cost of a higher runtime and complexity. This paper explores the limits of what can be achieved with a LiDAR-only SLAM approach while following the "Keep It Small and Simple" (KISS) principle. By leveraging this minimalistic design principle, our system, KISS-SLAM, archives state-of-the-art performances in pose accuracy while requiring little to no parameter tuning for deployment across diverse environments, sensors, and motion profiles. We follow best practices in graph-based SLAM and build upon LiDAR odometry to compute the relative motion between scans and construct local maps of the environment. To correct drift, we match local maps and optimize the trajectory in a pose graph optimization step. The experimental results demonstrate that this design achieves competitive performance while reducing complexity and reliance on additional sensor modalities. By prioritizing simplicity, this work provides a new strong baseline for LiDAR-only SLAM and a high-performing starting point for future research. Further, our pipeline builds consistent maps that can be used directly for further downstream tasks like navigation. Our open-source system operates faster than the sensor frame rate in all presented datasets and is designed for real-world scenarios.
