ALICE-LRI: A General Method for Lossless Range Image Generation for Spinning LiDAR Sensors without Calibration Metadata

  • 通过逆向推导激光雷达内部参数实现无损投影
  • 在KITTI和DurLAR数据集上零点丢失,几何精度达传感器水平
  • 适合高精度遥感、自动驾驶等需完整点云的应用

3D激光雷达传感器在自动驾驶、环境监测和遥感测绘中至关重要。为高效处理其生成的大规模点云,常将点云投影为按角度和距离组织的二维距离图像。但传统投影方法存在根本性几何不一致,导致不可逆的信息损失,影响高保真应用。本文提出ALICE-LRI(自动激光雷达内参校准估计用于无损距离图像),首个通用且与传感器无关的方法,无需厂商元数据或校准文件即可实现旋转激光雷达点云的无损距离图像生成。该算法自动反演任意旋转激光雷达的关键内参,包括激光束配置、角度分布及每束校正参数,实现无损投影与完整点云重建,零点丢失。在KITTI和DurLAR完整数据集上的综合评估表明,ALICE-LRI实现了完美点保留,所有点云中零点丢失,几何精度保持在传感器精度范围内,实现几何无损并具备实时性能。还通过压缩案例研究验证了显著的下游增益,在实际应用中大幅提升质量。这一从近似到无损的范式转变,为需要完整几何保留的高精度遥感应用开辟新可能。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

3D LiDAR sensors are essential for autonomous navigation, environmental monitoring, and precision mapping in remote sensing applications. To efficiently process the massive point clouds generated by these sensors, LiDAR data is often projected into 2D range images that organize points by their angular positions and distances. While these range image representations enable efficient processing, conventional projection methods suffer from fundamental geometric inconsistencies that cause irreversible information loss, compromising high-fidelity applications. We present ALICE-LRI (Automatic LiDAR Intrinsic Calibration Estimation for Lossless Range Images), the first general, sensor-agnostic method that achieves lossless range image generation from spinning LiDAR point clouds without requiring manufacturer metadata or calibration files. Our algorithm automatically reverse-engineers the intrinsic geometry of any spinning LiDAR sensor by inferring critical parameters including laser beam configuration, angular distributions, and per-beam calibration corrections, enabling lossless projection and complete point cloud reconstruction with zero point loss. Comprehensive evaluation across the complete KITTI and DurLAR datasets demonstrates that ALICE-LRI achieves perfect point preservation, with zero points lost across all point clouds. Geometric accuracy is maintained well within sensor precision limits, establishing geometric losslessness with real-time performance. We also present a compression case study that validates substantial downstream benefits, demonstrating significant quality improvements in practical applications. This paradigm shift from approximate to lossless LiDAR projections opens new possibilities for high-precision remote sensing applications requiring complete geometric preservation.
