利用多普勒信息提升雷达里程计精度,可在无特征环境稳定运行。

DRO: Doppler-Aware Direct Radar Odometry

  • 直接基于雷达强度图进行扫描匹配,无需提取特征点
  • 融合运动与多普勒畸变校正,实现连续轨迹估计
  • 在无纹理隧道等场景中误差低至0.18%,适合复杂环境机器人

毫米波雷达在移动机器人感知中迎来新发展。相比相机或激光雷达,其可在薄墙、植被及雨雾雪尘等恶劣天气下正常工作。本文提出一种针对旋转调频连续波雷达的SE(2)里程计方法,直接利用全部雷达强度信息进行扫描到局部地图的注册,无需特征提取或点云生成。该方法实现连续轨迹估计,并同时考虑运动与多普勒畸变。若雷达具备可观测径向多普勒速度的特定调制模式,则引入多普勒约束以提升速度估计,在无几何特征场景(如隧道)中实现可靠里程计。算法在超过250公里道路数据(来自Boreas和MulRan公开数据集)及自建车载平台采集数据上验证。配合陀螺仪,其在Boreas基准测试中平均相对位移误差为0.26%;使用支持多普勒的调制数据时,误差降至0.18%。此外,在1.5小时非结构化越野环境下测试,验证了算法通用性。实时代码已开源:https://github.com/utiasASRL/dro。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

A renaissance in radar-based sensing for mobile robotic applications is underway. Compared to cameras or lidars, millimetre-wave radars have the ability to `see' through thin walls, vegetation, and adversarial weather conditions such as heavy rain, fog, snow, and dust. In this paper, we propose a novel SE(2) odometry approach for spinning frequency-modulated continuous-wave radars. Our method performs scan-to-local-map registration of the incoming radar data in a direct manner using all the radar intensity information without the need for feature or point cloud extraction. The method performs locally continuous trajectory estimation and accounts for both motion and Doppler distortion of the radar scans. If the radar possesses a specific frequency modulation pattern that makes radial Doppler velocities observable, an additional Doppler-based constraint is formulated to improve the velocity estimate and enable odometry in geometrically feature-deprived scenarios (e.g., featureless tunnels). Our method has been validated on over 250km of on-road data sourced from public datasets (Boreas and MulRan) and collected using our automotive platform. With the aid of a gyroscope, it outperforms state-of-the-art methods and achieves an average relative translation error of 0.26% on the Boreas leaderboard. When using data with the appropriate Doppler-enabling frequency modulation pattern, the translation error is reduced to 0.18% in similar environments. We also benchmarked our algorithm using 1.5 hours of data collected with a mobile robot in off-road environments with various levels of structure to demonstrate its versatility. Our real-time implementation is publicly available: https://github.com/utiasASRL/dro.
