  • 利用惯导安装高度约束,解决矿车平面运动下的参数不可观测问题
  • 通过联合优化框架,同时提升标定精度与惯导轨迹估计准确性
  • 适用于机械与固态激光雷达混合配置,实测数据验证效果稳定

在智能矿山环境下,多激光雷达与GNSS辅助惯性导航系统(GINS)间的精确外参标定对可靠传感器融合至关重要。现有方法常依赖人工标靶、传感器重叠视场或精确轨迹估计,这些假设在实际中难以满足。此外,矿车的平面运动导致参数可观测性下降,影响标定性能。本文提出一种无需标靶的外参标定方法,可在无重叠视场条件下将多个车载激光雷达对齐至GINS坐标系。该方法基于已知的GINS安装高度构建观测模型,以约束平面运动下的不可观测参数。设计了一种联合优化框架,通过几何对应关系与运动一致性约束,同时优化外参与GINS轨迹。方法适用于异构激光雷达配置(含机械式与固态式)。在仿真与真实数据集上的大量实验表明,该方法具备高精度、强鲁棒性与良好的实际应用能力。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Accurate extrinsic calibration between multiple LiDAR sensors and a GNSS-aided inertial navigation system (GINS) is essential for achieving reliable sensor fusion in intelligent mining environments. Such calibration enables vehicle-road collaboration by aligning perception data from vehicle-mounted sensors to a unified global reference frame. However, existing methods often depend on artificial targets, overlapping fields of view, or precise trajectory estimation, which are assumptions that may not hold in practice. Moreover, the planar motion of mining vehicles leads to observability issues that degrade calibration performance. This paper presents a targetless extrinsic calibration method that aligns multiple onboard LiDAR sensors to the GINS coordinate system without requiring overlapping sensor views or external targets. The proposed approach introduces an observation model based on the known installation height of the GINS unit to constrain unobservable calibration parameters under planar motion. A joint optimization framework is developed to refine both the extrinsic parameters and GINS trajectory by integrating multiple constraints derived from geometric correspondences and motion consistency. The proposed method is applicable to heterogeneous LiDAR configurations, including both mechanical and solid-state sensors. Extensive experiments on simulated and real-world datasets demonstrate the accuracy, robustness, and practical applicability of the approach under diverse sensor setups.
