When and Where Localization Fails: An Analysis of the Iterative Closest Point in Evolving Environment

  • 构建每周采集的多时相点云数据集,模拟真实环境演变
  • 点到平面ICP比点到点更稳定,尤其在植被密集或特征稀疏区
  • 适合研究长期自动驾驶定位鲁棒性的科研人员使用

在依赖3D激光雷达的自主系统中,动态户外环境下的鲁棒重定位仍是关键挑战。尽管长期定位已广泛研究,但持续数天至数周的短期环境变化仍缺乏深入探索,尽管其具有重要实际意义。为此,我们采集了2025年2月至4月期间,自然与半城市环境中每周一次的高分辨率多时相数据集。每次采集包含高密度点云地图、360°全景图像和轨迹数据。基于点云地图生成投影激光扫描,并精确建模传感器遮挡,使用两种迭代最近点(ICP)变体——点到点与点到平面——进行对齐精度评估。结果表明,点到平面ICP在特征稀疏或植被密集区域表现出显著更高的稳定性和准确性。本研究提供了结构化数据集用于评估短期定位鲁棒性,建立可复现的噪声环境下扫描-地图对齐分析框架,并对比评估ICP在演化户外环境中的性能。分析揭示局部几何与环境变异如何影响定位成功率,为设计更鲁棒的机器人系统提供洞见。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Robust relocalization in dynamic outdoor environments remains a key challenge for autonomous systems relying on 3D lidar. While long-term localization has been widely studied, short-term environmental changes, occurring over days or weeks, remain underexplored despite their practical significance. To address this gap, we present a highresolution, short-term multi-temporal dataset collected weekly from February to April 2025 across natural and semi-urban settings. Each session includes high-density point cloud maps, 360 deg panoramic images, and trajectory data. Projected lidar scans, derived from the point cloud maps and modeled with sensor-accurate occlusions, are used to evaluate alignment accuracy against the ground truth using two Iterative Closest Point (ICP) variants: Point-to-Point and Point-to-Plane. Results show that Point-to-Plane offers significantly more stable and accurate registration, particularly in areas with sparse features or dense vegetation. This study provides a structured dataset for evaluating short-term localization robustness, a reproducible framework for analyzing scan-to-map alignment under noise, and a comparative evaluation of ICP performance in evolving outdoor environments. Our analysis underscores how local geometry and environmental variability affect localization success, offering insights for designing more resilient robotic systems.
