YOPOv2-Tracker: An End-to-End Agile Tracking and Navigation Framework from Perception to Action
- 用动作基元直接回归飞行轨迹,简化追踪流程。
- 真实场景验证中,森林与建筑环境均实现快速响应。
- 无需人工示范,通过梯度反传优化轨迹成本,适合高速飞行任务。
传统目标追踪流程包含检测、建图、导航与控制,虽全面但延迟高,限制了四旋翼的敏捷性。本文提出一种端到端的敏捷追踪与导航框架,将感知输入直接映射为控制指令。利用导航与检测任务的多模态特性,网络显式整合传统流水线中的独立模块,保持可解释性,而非简单回归动作。具体地,采用一组运动基元作为锚点,覆盖可行区域与潜在目标空间;将轨迹优化重构成基元偏移与关联代价的回归,兼顾安全、平滑等指标。追踪任务中,期望轨迹逼近目标,并预测物体存在得分。随后,经估计的总扰动补偿后,输出推力与姿态作为控制命令以实现快速响应。训练时,通过直接反向传播轨迹成本梯度,无缝融合传统运动规划与深度学习,无需模仿学习中的专家示范,且指导比强化学习更直接。最后,在紧凑型四旋翼上部署算法,并在森林与建筑环境中进行真实世界验证,证明了方法的高效性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Traditional target tracking pipelines including detection, mapping, navigation, and control are comprehensive but introduce high latency, limitting the agility of quadrotors. On the contrary, we follow the design principle of "less is more", striving to simplify the process while maintaining effectiveness. In this work, we propose an end-to-end agile tracking and navigation framework for quadrotors that directly maps the sensory observations to control commands. Importantly, leveraging the multimodal nature of navigation and detection tasks, our network maintains interpretability by explicitly integrating the independent modules of the traditional pipeline, rather than a crude action regression. In detail, we adopt a set of motion primitives as anchors to cover the searching space regarding the feasible region and potential target. Then we reformulate the trajectory optimization as regression of primitive offsets and associated costs considering the safety, smoothness, and other metrics. For tracking task, the trajectories are expected to approach the target and additional objectness scores are predicted. Subsequently, the predictions, after compensation for the estimated lumped disturbance, are transformed into thrust and attitude as control commands for swift response. During training, we seamlessly integrate traditional motion planning with deep learning by directly back-propagating the gradients of trajectory costs to the network, eliminating the need for expert demonstration in imitation learning and providing more direct guidance than reinforcement learning. Finally, we deploy the algorithm on a compact quadrotor and conduct real-world validations in both forest and building environments to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method.
