IRAF-SLAM: An Illumination-Robust and Adaptive Feature-Culling Front-End for Visual SLAM in Challenging Environments
- 根据图像熵、亮度和梯度动态调整特征检测灵敏度。
- 在TUM-VI与EuRoC数据集上显著降低追踪失败率,轨迹误差更小。
- 适合无人机、机器人等需在光照突变环境运行的自主系统使用。
鲁棒的视觉SLAM对真实场景中的自主系统至关重要,但动态物体、低纹理及光照变化常导致性能下降。现有基于特征的SLAM系统依赖固定前端参数,难以应对光照突变。本文提出IRAF-SLAM,一种光照鲁棒且自适应特征筛选的前端,包含:(1)图像增强方案,用于在不同光照下预处理并改善图像质量;(2)基于图像熵、像素强度和梯度分析的自适应特征提取机制;(3)通过密度分布分析与光照影响因子过滤不可靠特征点。在TUM-VI与EuRoC数据集上的综合评估表明,IRAF-SLAM在恶劣光照条件下显著减少追踪失败,实现优于当前最优vSLAM方法的轨迹精度,同时计算开销可控。代码已开源。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Robust Visual SLAM (vSLAM) is essential for autonomous systems operating in real-world environments, where challenges such as dynamic objects, low texture, and critically, varying illumination conditions often degrade performance. Existing feature-based SLAM systems rely on fixed front-end parameters, making them vulnerable to sudden lighting changes and unstable feature tracking. To address these challenges, we propose ``IRAF-SLAM'', an Illumination-Robust and Adaptive Feature-Culling front-end designed to enhance vSLAM resilience in complex and challenging environments. Our approach introduces: (1) an image enhancement scheme to preprocess and adjust image quality under varying lighting conditions; (2) an adaptive feature extraction mechanism that dynamically adjusts detection sensitivity based on image entropy, pixel intensity, and gradient analysis; and (3) a feature culling strategy that filters out unreliable feature points using density distribution analysis and a lighting impact factor. Comprehensive evaluations on the TUM-VI and European Robotics Challenge (EuRoC) datasets demonstrate that IRAF-SLAM significantly reduces tracking failures and achieves superior trajectory accuracy compared to state-of-the-art vSLAM methods under adverse illumination conditions. These results highlight the effectiveness of adaptive front-end strategies in improving vSLAM robustness without incurring significant computational overhead. The implementation of IRAF-SLAM is publicly available at https://thanhnguyencanh. github.io/IRAF-SLAM/.
