- 无需修改原有模型结构,通用性强,适合高精度自动驾驶系统部署。
摄像头与激光雷达是自动驾驶中的关键传感器。数据融合可弥补单一传感器的缺陷,但依赖于精确的外参标定。近年来虽有众多端到端标定方法提出,但多数仅单步预测外参,缺乏迭代优化能力。为满足更高精度需求,我们提出一种基于代理扩散的通用迭代框架。该框架可增强任意标定方法性能,无需架构修改。具体地,初始外参通过去噪过程逐轮优化,原标定方法作为代理去噪器在每一步估计最终外参。我们选取四种前沿标定方法作为代理去噪器,并与两种其他迭代方法进行对比。大量实验表明,集成本扩散模型后,所有标定方法在KITTI与Argoverse数据集上的精度、鲁棒性与稳定性均优于其他迭代方法及单步版本。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Cameras and LiDAR are essential sensors for autonomous vehicles. The fusion of camera and LiDAR data addresses the limitations of individual sensors but relies on precise extrinsic calibration. Recently, numerous end-to-end calibration methods have been proposed; however, most predict extrinsic parameters in a single step and lack iterative optimization capabilities. To address the increasing demand for higher accuracy, we propose a versatile iterative framework based on surrogate diffusion. This framework can enhance the performance of any calibration method without requiring architectural modifications. Specifically, the initial extrinsic parameters undergo iterative refinement through a denoising process, in which the original calibration method serves as a surrogate denoiser to estimate the final extrinsics at each step. For comparative analysis, we selected four state-of-the-art calibration methods as surrogate denoisers and compared the results of our diffusion process with those of two other iterative approaches. Extensive experiments demonstrate that when integrated with our diffusion model, all calibration methods achieve higher accuracy, improved robustness, and greater stability compared to other iterative techniques and their single-step counterparts.
