让无人机与地面车通过共享特征点实现高效精准定位,通信量低于0.3兆比特每秒。

Semi-distributed Cross-modal Air-Ground Relative Localization

  • 地面车融合多传感器独立做定位,不依赖所有机器人状态估计
  • 用深度学习特征点和分阶段优化,实现亚厘米级相对位姿精度
  • 只传关键点像素和描述子,适合带宽受限的空地协同场景

空地协同任务中高效、准确且灵活的相对定位至关重要。然而,现有机器人相对定位方法多为同配置分布式多机器人SLAM系统,紧密耦合于所有机器人的状态估计,限制了灵活性与精度。为此,我们充分利用无人地面车辆(UGV)的高集成能力,融合多种传感器,构建半分布式跨模态空地相对定位框架。在该框架中,UGV与无人飞行器(UAV)各自独立执行SLAM,并提取基于深度学习的关键点与全局描述符,从而将相对定位与各智能体状态估计解耦。UGV采用包含激光雷达、相机与惯性测量单元(IMU)的局部束调整(BA),快速获得精确的相对姿态估计。该BA过程采用稀疏关键点优化,分为两阶段:首先优化由激光雷达-惯性里程计(LIO)插值得到的相机位姿,再估计UGV与UAV间的相对相机位姿。此外,我们实现了一种基于深度学习描述符的增量式回环检测算法,高效维护与检索关键帧。实验表明,本方法在精度与效率方面表现优异。与传统多机器人SLAM需传输图像或点云不同,本方法仅传输关键点像素及其描述符,通信带宽控制在0.3 Mbps以下。代码与数据将公开于https://github.com/Ascbpiac/cross-model-relative-localization.git。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Efficient, accurate, and flexible relative localization is crucial in air-ground collaborative tasks. However, current approaches for robot relative localization are primarily realized in the form of distributed multi-robot SLAM systems with the same sensor configuration, which are tightly coupled with the state estimation of all robots, limiting both flexibility and accuracy. To this end, we fully leverage the high capacity of Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) to integrate multiple sensors, enabling a semi-distributed cross-modal air-ground relative localization framework. In this work, both the UGV and the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) independently perform SLAM while extracting deep learning-based keypoints and global descriptors, which decouples the relative localization from the state estimation of all agents. The UGV employs a local Bundle Adjustment (BA) with LiDAR, camera, and an IMU to rapidly obtain accurate relative pose estimates. The BA process adopts sparse keypoint optimization and is divided into two stages: First, optimizing camera poses interpolated from LiDAR-Inertial Odometry (LIO), followed by estimating the relative camera poses between the UGV and UAV. Additionally, we implement an incremental loop closure detection algorithm using deep learning-based descriptors to maintain and retrieve keyframes efficiently. Experimental results demonstrate that our method achieves outstanding performance in both accuracy and efficiency. Unlike traditional multi-robot SLAM approaches that transmit images or point clouds, our method only transmits keypoint pixels and their descriptors, effectively constraining the communication bandwidth under 0.3 Mbps. Codes and data will be publicly available on https://github.com/Ascbpiac/cross-model-relative-localization.git.
