ICD-Net: Inertial Covariance Displacement Network for Drone Visual-Inertial SLAM

  • 直接从原始惯性数据中学习位移图,无需依赖理想化模型。
  • 在高速飞行下轨迹误差降低38%以上,且输出不确定性用于优化加权。
  • 适合摄像头失效或光照差场景,兼顾实时性与鲁棒性。

视觉惯性SLAM系统常因传感器校准不完善、测量噪声、快速运动、低光照及传统惯性导航方法固有局限而表现不佳,尤其在无人机应用中,精准状态估计对安全自主运行至关重要。本文提出ICD-Net,一种新框架,通过学习原始惯性测量数据生成带不确定度量化的位移估计,以增强视觉惯性SLAM性能。不同于依赖理想化惯性模型的方法,ICD-Net直接从传感器数据中提取位移图,并同步预测测量协方差,反映估计置信度。将ICD-Net输出作为额外残差约束引入VINS-Fusion优化框架,预测的不确定性可合理加权神经网络贡献相对于传统视觉与惯性项。所学位移约束提供互补信息,补偿SLAM流水线中的多种误差源。该方法在高动态无人机序列上验证,相比标准VINS-Fusion显著提升轨迹估计精度,均方绝对位置误差(APE)改善超38%,且不确定性估计对系统鲁棒性至关重要。结果表明,神经网络增强能有效应对多重SLAM退化因素,同时满足实时性要求。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Visual-inertial SLAM systems often exhibit suboptimal performance due to multiple confounding factors including imperfect sensor calibration, noisy measurements, rapid motion dynamics, low illumination, and the inherent limitations of traditional inertial navigation integration methods. These issues are particularly problematic in drone applications where robust and accurate state estimation is critical for safe autonomous operation. In this work, we present ICD-Net, a novel framework that enhances visual-inertial SLAM performance by learning to process raw inertial measurements and generating displacement estimates with associated uncertainty quantification. Rather than relying on analytical inertial sensor models that struggle with real-world sensor imperfections, our method directly extracts displacement maps from sensor data while simultaneously predicting measurement covariances that reflect estimation confidence. We integrate ICD-Net outputs as additional residual constraints into the VINS-Fusion optimization framework, where the predicted uncertainties appropriately weight the neural network contributions relative to traditional visual and inertial terms. The learned displacement constraints provide complementary information that compensates for various error sources in the SLAM pipeline. Our approach can be used under both normal operating conditions and in situations of camera inconsistency or visual degradation. Experimental evaluation on challenging high-speed drone sequences demonstrated that our approach significantly improved trajectory estimation accuracy compared to standard VINS-Fusion, with more than 38% improvement in mean APE and uncertainty estimates proving crucial for maintaining system robustness. Our method shows that neural network enhancement can effectively address multiple sources of SLAM degradation while maintaining real-time performance requirements.
