场景图已成为机器人的重要工具,提供空间与语义关系的结构化表示,支持高级任务规划。然而,传统3D室内场景图在结构复杂的环境中存在严重缺陷,表现为房间层的过分割与欠分割:欠分割将不可通行区域错误归入房间(如开放空间),过分割则在复杂结构中将单一房间切分为重叠片段。根源在于基于体素的地图表示仅依赖几何邻近性,忽视了可通行空间的结构约束,导致场景图中房间层不一致。本文首次将分割不一致性作为核心挑战,提出通行性感知的一致性场景图(TACS-Graphs)框架,将地面机器人的通行性融入房间分割过程。通过将通行性作为定义房间边界的决定因素,新方法实现了更语义合理且拓扑一致的分割,有效缓解了体素方法在复杂环境中的误差。此外,提升的分割一致性显著增强了基于一致性场景图的闭环检测(CoSG-LCD)效率,从而获得更高精度的姿态估计。实验结果表明,该方法在场景图一致性与位姿图优化性能上均优于现有先进方法。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Scene graphs have emerged as a powerful tool for robots, providing a structured representation of spatial and semantic relationships for advanced task planning. Despite their potential, conventional 3D indoor scene graphs face critical limitations, particularly under- and over-segmentation of room layers in structurally complex environments. Under-segmentation misclassifies non-traversable areas as part of a room, often in open spaces, while over-segmentation fragments a single room into overlapping segments in complex environments. These issues stem from naive voxel-based map representations that rely solely on geometric proximity, disregarding the structural constraints of traversable spaces and resulting in inconsistent room layers within scene graphs. To the best of our knowledge, this work is the first to tackle segmentation inconsistency as a challenge and address it with Traversability-Aware Consistent Scene Graphs (TACS-Graphs), a novel framework that integrates ground robot traversability with room segmentation. By leveraging traversability as a key factor in defining room boundaries, the proposed method achieves a more semantically meaningful and topologically coherent segmentation, effectively mitigating the inaccuracies of voxel-based scene graph approaches in complex environments. Furthermore, the enhanced segmentation consistency improves loop closure detection efficiency in the proposed Consistent Scene Graph-leveraging Loop Closure Detection (CoSG-LCD) leading to higher pose estimation accuracy. Experimental results confirm that the proposed approach outperforms state-of-the-art methods in terms of scene graph consistency and pose graph optimization performance.
