近年来,利用航拍和卫星地图数据进行自动驾驶定位受到广泛关注,因其具备显著降低成本和提升可扩展性的潜力。然而,航拍数据也面临传感器模态差异和视角差异等挑战。基于学习的定位方法在克服这些挑战方面展现出前景,能实现高精度度量定位。现有方法大多依赖粗略对齐的真值或基于隐式一致性的方法来学习定位任务;本文发现,在训练阶段提升航拍数据与车辆传感器数据之间的对齐精度,对学习型定位系统的性能至关重要。我们采用因子图框架比较了两种数据对齐方法,并通过消融实验评估了精细对齐真值对定位精度的影响。最终,在一个涵盖1600公里的自动驾驶数据集上,使用所提对齐方法的定位系统实现了低于0.3米的定位误差和0.5°的方向误差,满足自动驾驶应用要求。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Recently there has been growing interest in the use of aerial and satellite map data for autonomous vehicles, primarily due to its potential for significant cost reduction and enhanced scalability. Despite the advantages, aerial data also comes with challenges such as a sensor-modality gap and a viewpoint difference gap. Learned localization methods have shown promise for overcoming these challenges to provide precise metric localization for autonomous vehicles. Most learned localization methods rely on coarsely aligned ground truth, or implicit consistency-based methods to learn the localization task -- however, in this paper we find that improving the alignment between aerial data and autonomous vehicle sensor data at training time is critical to the performance of a learning-based localization system. We compare two data alignment methods using a factor graph framework and, using these methods, we then evaluate the effects of closely aligned ground truth on learned localization accuracy through ablation studies. Finally, we evaluate a learned localization system using the data alignment methods on a comprehensive (1600km) autonomous vehicle dataset and demonstrate localization error below 0.3m and 0.5$^{\circ}$ sufficient for autonomous vehicle applications.
