  • 融合雷达瞬时速度、距离与惯性数据,用扩展卡尔曼滤波和因子图建模
  • 在资源受限嵌入式设备上实现实时运行,使用消费级FMCW雷达
  • 创新性结合深度学习从稀疏噪声雷达点云中提取3D对应点,提升精度

近年来,雷达传感技术的微型化和测量精度提升吸引了机器人研究领域的关注。精确确定机器人在空间中的位姿是实现自主的关键任务。通常通过传感器融合算法,将激光雷达、相机、激光测距仪或GNSS等外部传感器数据与惯性测量单元(IMU)数据融合,以估计机器人的导航状态。然而,某些外部传感器在极端环境条件下(如强光、烟雾或粉尘)性能受限。雷达因利用电磁波特性,对上述因素具有较强鲁棒性。本文提出雷达-惯性里程计(RIO)算法,融合IMU与雷达信息,实现可在便携式资源受限嵌入式计算机上实时运行的无人机(UAV)导航状态估计,并采用廉价的消费级频调连续波(FMCW)雷达。我们提出了基于多状态紧密耦合扩展卡尔曼滤波(EKF)和因子图(FG)的新RIO方法,融合雷达提供的3D点瞬时速度与距离信息。此外,还提出一种新方法,利用深度学习从稀疏且噪声大的雷达点云中提取3D点对应关系。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Recently, the progress in the radar sensing technology consisting in the miniaturization of the packages and increase in measuring precision has drawn the interest of the robotics research community. Indeed, a crucial task enabling autonomy in robotics is to precisely determine the pose of the robot in space. To fulfill this task sensor fusion algorithms are often used, in which data from one or several exteroceptive sensors like, for example, LiDAR, camera, laser ranging sensor or GNSS are fused together with the Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) measurements to obtain an estimate of the navigation states of the robot. Nonetheless, owing to their particular sensing principles, some exteroceptive sensors are often incapacitated in extreme environmental conditions, like extreme illumination or presence of fine particles in the environment like smoke or fog. Radars are largely immune to aforementioned factors thanks to the characteristics of electromagnetic waves they use. In this thesis, we present Radar-Inertial Odometry (RIO) algorithms to fuse the information from IMU and radar in order to estimate the navigation states of a (Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle) UAV capable of running on a portable resource-constrained embedded computer in real-time and making use of inexpensive, consumer-grade sensors. We present novel RIO approaches relying on the multi-state tightly-coupled Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) and Factor Graphs (FG) fusing instantaneous velocities of and distances to 3D points delivered by a lightweight, low-cost, off-the-shelf Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar with IMU readings. We also show a novel way to exploit advances in deep learning to retrieve 3D point correspondences in sparse and noisy radar point clouds.
