- 四传感器紧耦合,视觉失效时仍可稳定运行。
- 新式多普勒速度计预积分减少漂移,提升测量效率。
- 适合水下机器人在低能见度场景中高精度导航。
水下环境因能见度低、光照不足和特征稀疏,导致视觉-惯性同时定位与地图构建(SLAM)系统面临严峻挑战。本文提出一种基于图优化的视觉-惯性-声学-深度SLAM系统,集成双目相机、惯性测量单元(IMU)、多普勒速度计(DVL)和压力传感器。核心创新在于四模态传感器的紧密融合,确保在视觉退化条件下仍能可靠工作。为缓解DVL漂移并提升测量效率,提出基于速度偏差的DVL预积分策略。前端采用混合跟踪机制与声学-惯性-深度联合优化增强系统稳定性。同时,多源混合残差被引入图优化框架。在模拟与真实水下场景中进行了大量定量与定性分析。结果表明,该方法在稳定性与定位精度上优于当前最先进的双目视觉-惯性SLAM系统,尤其在视觉恶劣环境下表现出卓越鲁棒性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Visual degradation caused by limited visibility, insufficient lighting, and feature scarcity in underwater environments presents significant challenges to visual-inertial simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) systems. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a graph-based visual-inertial-acoustic-depth SLAM system that integrates a stereo camera, an inertial measurement unit (IMU), the Doppler velocity log (DVL), and a pressure sensor. The key innovation lies in the tight integration of four distinct sensor modalities to ensure reliable operation, even under degraded visual conditions. To mitigate DVL drift and improve measurement efficiency, we propose a novel velocity-bias-based DVL preintegration strategy. At the frontend, hybrid tracking strategies and acoustic-inertial-depth joint optimization enhance system stability. Additionally, multi-source hybrid residuals are incorporated into a graph optimization framework. Extensive quantitative and qualitative analyses of the proposed system are conducted in both simulated and real-world underwater scenarios. The results demonstrate that our approach outperforms current state-of-the-art stereo visual-inertial SLAM systems in both stability and localization accuracy, exhibiting exceptional robustness, particularly in visually challenging environments.
