通过迭代优化提升恶劣天气下激光雷达定位的鲁棒性。

An Iterative Task-Driven Framework for Resilient LiDAR Place Recognition in Adverse Weather

  • 设计双向迭代框架,让重建与识别任务相互指导。
  • 在Weather-KITTI等数据集上准确率超越现有方法。
  • 适合自动驾驶中复杂天气场景的定位系统开发者。

激光雷达地点识别(LPR)在自动驾驶导航中至关重要。然而,现有方法在雨、雪、雾等恶劣天气下表现不佳,因天气引起的噪声和点云退化降低了激光雷达的可靠性与感知精度。为此,我们提出一种迭代任务驱动框架(ITDNet),通过端到端联合训练激光雷达数据恢复(LDR)模块与激光雷达地点识别(LPR)模块,采用交替优化策略提升性能。核心思路是利用LDR模块恢复受损点云并保持与干净数据的结构一致性,从而提升恶劣天气下的LPR准确性;同时,LPR任务提供特征伪标签,引导LDR模块训练,使其更贴合识别需求。为此,我们设计了任务驱动的LPR损失与重建损失,联合监督LDR模块优化。针对LDR模块,提出双域混合器(DDM)实现频域-空间特征融合,以及语义感知生成器(SAG)实现语义引导恢复;针对LPR模块,引入多频段变压器(MFT)与小波金字塔NetVLAD(WPN)以聚合多尺度、鲁棒的全局描述符。在Weather-KITTI、Boreas及我们提出的Weather-Apollo数据集上的大量实验表明,ITDNet优于现有LPR方法,在恶劣天气下达到最先进性能。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

LiDAR place recognition (LPR) plays a vital role in autonomous navigation. However, existing LPR methods struggle to maintain robustness under adverse weather conditions such as rain, snow, and fog, where weather-induced noise and point cloud degradation impair LiDAR reliability and perception accuracy. To tackle these challenges, we propose an Iterative Task-Driven Framework (ITDNet), which integrates a LiDAR Data Restoration (LDR) module and a LiDAR Place Recognition (LPR) module through an iterative learning strategy. These modules are jointly trained end-to-end, with alternating optimization to enhance performance. The core rationale of ITDNet is to leverage the LDR module to recover the corrupted point clouds while preserving structural consistency with clean data, thereby improving LPR accuracy in adverse weather. Simultaneously, the LPR task provides feature pseudo-labels to guide the LDR module's training, aligning it more effectively with the LPR task. To achieve this, we first design a task-driven LPR loss and a reconstruction loss to jointly supervise the optimization of the LDR module. Furthermore, for the LDR module, we propose a Dual-Domain Mixer (DDM) block for frequency-spatial feature fusion and a Semantic-Aware Generator (SAG) block for semantic-guided restoration. In addition, for the LPR module, we introduce a Multi-Frequency Transformer (MFT) block and a Wavelet Pyramid NetVLAD (WPN) block to aggregate multi-scale, robust global descriptors. Finally, extensive experiments on Weather-KITTI, Boreas, and our proposed Weather-Apollo datasets demonstrate that, ITDNet outperforms existing LPR methods, achieving state-of-the-art performance in adverse weather.
