SHRUMS: Sensor Hallucination for Real-time Underwater Motion Planning with a Compact 3D Sonar
- 通过生成虚拟传感器数据弥补真实3D声呐信息不足
- 在能见度极低的复杂水域实现实时局部最优路径规划
- 首个集成3D声呐的水下自主导航系统,适合深海探测任务
自主三维导航是自主系统的核心挑战。尽管陆地和空中因激光雷达等测距传感器的进步取得显著进展,但适用于水下机器人的紧凑型3D声呐设备直到近期才出现。本文提出一种新型水下3D导航流程——SHRUMS(基于3D声呐的鲁棒水下运动规划中的传感器幻觉)。据作者所知,SHRUMS是首个整合3D声呐的水下自主导航系统。该方法在极端低能见度条件下仍表现出强鲁棒性,能够处理新型传感器数据流并实现实时局部最优性能。SHRUMS引入‘传感器幻觉’概念,从不存在的传感器中生成测量数据,参数可灵活配置以适配特定应用需求。相关方法已通过真实3D声呐数据验证,在挑战性场景中使用实时构建的局部地图进行测试。近期将开展完整系统的实地部署验证。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Autonomous navigation in 3D is a fundamental problem for autonomy. Despite major advancements in terrestrial and aerial settings due to improved range sensors including LiDAR, compact sensors with similar capabilities for underwater robots have only recently become available, in the form of 3D sonars. This paper introduces a novel underwater 3D navigation pipeline, called SHRUMS (Sensor Hallucination for Robust Underwater Motion planning with 3D Sonar). To the best of the authors' knowledge, SHRUMS is the first underwater autonomous navigation stack to integrate a 3D sonar. The proposed pipeline exhibits strong robustness while operating in complex 3D environments in spite of extremely poor visibility conditions. To accommodate the intricacies of the novel sensor data stream while achieving real-time locally optimal performance, SHRUMS introduces the concept of hallucinating sensor measurements from non-existent sensors with convenient arbitrary parameters, tailored to application specific requirements. The proposed concepts are validated with real 3D sonar sensor data, utilizing real inputs in challenging settings and local maps constructed in real-time. Field deployments validating the proposed approach in full are planned in the very near future.
