考虑点级畸变不确定性的激光惯性里程计，提升高速振动下定位精度。
Vibration-aware Lidar-Inertial Odometry based on Point-wise Post-Undistortion Uncertainty
- 为每个点分配后畸变不确定性，建模振动引起的畸变误差。
- 在匹配与状态估计中引入不确定性，使结果更鲁棒，误差降低15%以上。
- 适用于高速移动机器人在复杂地形中的高振动场景，尤其适合越野应用。
高速地面机器人在非结构化地形上运动时会产生强烈高频振动，导致激光雷达扫描出现畸变，从而影响激光惯性里程计（LIO）的精度。由于剧烈振动下状态变化迅速且不连续，以及惯性测量单元（IMU）噪声不可预测且采样频率有限，准确高效的去畸变极为困难。为此，本文提出后畸变不确定性建模：首先，建立线性和角振动引起的畸变误差模型，并为每个点分配后畸变不确定性；其次，利用该不确定性指导点到地图匹配、计算不确定性感知残差，并通过迭代卡尔曼滤波更新位姿状态。我们在多个公开数据集及自采数据上进行了振动平台和移动平台实验，结果表明，在激光雷达剧烈振动条件下，本方法性能优于现有方法，显著提升定位精度与鲁棒性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
High-speed ground robots moving on unstructured terrains generate intense high-frequency vibrations, leading to LiDAR scan distortions in Lidar-inertial odometry (LIO). Accurate and efficient undistortion is extremely challenging due to (1) rapid and non-smooth state changes during intense vibrations and (2) unpredictable IMU noise coupled with a limited IMU sampling frequency. To address this issue, this paper introduces post-undistortion uncertainty. First, we model the undistortion errors caused by linear and angular vibrations and assign post-undistortion uncertainty to each point. We then leverage this uncertainty to guide point-to-map matching, compute uncertainty-aware residuals, and update the odometry states using an iterated Kalman filter. We conduct vibration-platform and mobile-platform experiments on multiple public datasets as well as our own recordings, demonstrating that our method achieves better performance than other methods when LiDAR undergoes intense vibration.
