精确校准惯性测量单元(IMU)与里程计之间的内参(比例因子)和外参(平移与旋转)对自动驾驶地面车辆定位至关重要。现有基于GNSS的方法常依赖模糊度未解算的位置结果或原始观测,且可观测性分析不足。本文提出一种紧耦合的在线标定方法,将IMU、里程计和原始GNSS测量(伪距、载波相位、多普勒)融合至可扩展的因子图优化框架中,集成异常值抑制与模糊度解算。可观测性分析表明,在一般运动下,两个水平平移与三个旋转参数可观测,垂直平移不可观测。仿真与实测验证表明,本方法在标定与定位性能上优于当前最优松耦合方法:使用校准参数后,IMU-里程计定位最大绝对误差为17.75米,而松耦合法为61.51米,提升达71.14%。为促进后续研究,我们还发布了首个公开的融合车载与基准站的原始GNSS、IMU及2D里程计数据集。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Accurate calibration of intrinsic (odometer scaling factors) and extrinsic parameters (IMU-odometer translation and rotation) is essential for autonomous ground vehicle localization. Existing GNSS-aided approaches often rely on positioning results or raw measurements without ambiguity resolution, and their observability properties remain underexplored. This paper proposes a tightly coupled online calibration method that fuses IMU, odometer, and raw GNSS measurements (pseudo-range, carrier-phase, and Doppler) within an extendable factor graph optimization (FGO) framework, incorporating outlier mitigation and ambiguity resolution. Observability analysis reveals that two horizontal translation and three rotation parameters are observable under general motion, while vertical translation remains unobservable. Simulation and real-world experiments demonstrate superior calibration and localization performance over state-of-the-art loosely coupled methods. Specifically, the IMU-odometer positioning using our calibrated parameters achieves the absolute maximum error of 17.75 m while the one of LC method is 61.51 m, achieving up to 71.14 percent improvement. To foster further research, we also release the first open-source dataset that combines IMU, 2D odometer, and raw GNSS measurements from both rover and base stations.
