解决多机器人建图中重叠区域模糊问题,提升全局一致性与精度。

LEMON-Mapping: Loop-Enhanced Large-Scale Multi-Session Point Cloud Merging and Optimization for Globally Consistent Mapping

  • 引入回环增强机制,动态处理异常回环并恢复有效回环。
  • 采用空间束调整,显著减少重叠区域的发散和模糊现象。
  • 支持大规模多轮次建图,适合多机器人协同场景。

多机器人协作在现代机器人领域日益关键,但构建全局一致且精确的地图仍面临挑战。传统多机器人位姿图优化(PGO)方法虽保证基本全局一致性,却忽视地图几何结构,仅将回环作为位姿节点间的约束,导致重叠区域出现发散与模糊。为此,本文提出 LEMON-Mapping 框架,实现大规模、多轮次点云融合与优化。首先,设计鲁棒回环处理机制,可剔除异常回环,并通过回环召回策略恢复被误删的有效回环;其次,引入空间束调整(spatial bundle adjustment),有效降低重叠区域的发散与模糊;第三,基于改进的 PGO 方法,利用精化束调整约束,将局部精度传播至全图。在多个公开数据集及自采数据集上的实验表明,本框架在映射精度与全局一致性上优于传统方法。可扩展性实验进一步验证其对多机器人场景的强大适应能力。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Multi-robot collaboration is becoming increasingly critical and presents significant challenges in modern robotics, especially for building a globally consistent, accurate map. Traditional multi-robot pose graph optimization (PGO) methods ensure basic global consistency but ignore the geometric structure of the map, and only use loop closures as constraints between pose nodes, leading to divergence and blurring in overlapping regions. To address this issue, we propose LEMON-Mapping, a loop-enhanced framework for large-scale, multi-session point cloud fusion and optimization. We re-examine the role of loops for multi-robot mapping and introduce three key innovations. First, we develop a robust loop processing mechanism that rejects outliers and a loop recall strategy to recover mistakenly removed but valid loops. Second, we introduce spatial bundle adjustment for multi-robot maps, reducing divergence and eliminating blurring in overlaps. Third, we design a PGO-based approach that leverages refined bundle adjustment constraints to propagate local accuracy to the entire map. We validate LEMON-Mapping on several public datasets and a self-collected dataset. The experimental results show superior mapping accuracy and global consistency of our framework compared to traditional merging methods. Scalability experiments also demonstrate its strong capability to handle scenarios involving numerous robots.
