Improved Accuracy of Robot Localization Using 3-D LiDAR in a Hippocampus-Inspired Model

  • 将垂直方向敏感度引入边界向量细胞模型,实现三维环境下的边界检测
  • 在垂直结构复杂的环境中,显著减少空间混淆,生成更独特的定位场
  • 适合需要高精度三维导航的仿生机器人研究者

边界向量细胞(BVCs)是脊椎动物大脑中一类编码特定距离和非中心方向环境边界的神经元,在海马体形成位置场中起核心作用。现有大多数计算型BVC模型局限于二维环境,易受水平对称性影响导致空间歧义。为此,本文在BVC框架中引入垂直角度敏感性,实现三维环境下鲁棒的边界检测,从而显著提升仿生机器人模型的空间定位精度。该模型处理激光雷达数据以捕捉垂直轮廓,有效区分传统二维表示下无法区分的位置。实验表明,在垂直变化较小的环境中,该三维模型性能与二维基线相当;而随着三维复杂度增加,其生成的定位场更加独特,显著降低空间混叠现象。结果表明,为基于BVC的定位添加垂直维度可显著提升真实三维空间中的导航与建图能力,同时在近平面场景中保持性能一致。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Boundary Vector Cells (BVCs) are a class of neurons in the brains of vertebrates that encode environmental boundaries at specific distances and allocentric directions, playing a central role in forming place fields in the hippocampus. Most computational BVC models are restricted to two-dimensional (2D) environments, making them prone to spatial ambiguities in the presence of horizontal symmetries in the environment. To address this limitation, we incorporate vertical angular sensitivity into the BVC framework, thereby enabling robust boundary detection in three dimensions, and leading to significantly more accurate spatial localization in a biologically-inspired robot model. The proposed model processes LiDAR data to capture vertical contours, thereby disambiguating locations that would be indistinguishable under a purely 2D representation. Experimental results show that in environments with minimal vertical variation, the proposed 3D model matches the performance of a 2D baseline; yet, as 3D complexity increases, it yields substantially more distinct place fields and markedly reduces spatial aliasing. These findings show that adding a vertical dimension to BVC-based localization can significantly enhance navigation and mapping in real-world 3D spaces while retaining performance parity in simpler, near-planar scenarios.
