提出几何可观察性指数,量化单个测量对位姿估计的影响。
The Geometric Observability Index: Influence, Fisher Information, and Weak Observability in SE(3) Pose Estimation
- 基于SE(3)位姿估计的几何敏感度,定义新指标GOI。
- GOI与残差统计量等价,可精准预测移除单个测量的影响。
- 适用于弱可观测场景下的鲁棒性分析,适合视觉里程计研究者。
我们提出几何可观察性指数(GOI),用于衡量SE(3)位姿估计中单个观测对姿态扰动的敏感度:即通过高斯-牛顿曲率(可能秩亏)在可观察子空间上诱导的位姿变化范数。证明了GOI等于M-估计影响函数的范数,其对应的曲率算子即为费舍尔信息,最小可观察特征值同时控制最坏情况下的测量效应放大和有限样本稳定半径O(σ/√(nλ_min))。理论具有双向操作意义:GOI是精确的单测量归因,能以相关系数r=1.00预测真实留一法位姿偏移;而将其标准化后恰好等于经典卡方残差统计量。因此,残差门控即为杠杆校正的影响检验——首次从原理上解释其鲁棒性;而原始影响门控混淆了信息与损害,在弱可观测几何中会过度剔除高杠杆内点。受控合成实验验证所有定量结论,五组TUM RGB-D序列(四组动态,一组静态对照)及两组KITTI里程计序列证实:在条件良好时两者性能一致,当cond(H)约为10^4时,原始影响门控显著退化。所有代码均已开源,确保可复现。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
We introduce the Geometric Observability Index (GOI), a per-feature sensitivity measure for pose estimation on SE(3): the metric norm of the pose perturbation that a single measurement induces through the (possibly rank-deficient) Gauss-Newton curvature, restricted to the observable subspace. We prove that GOI equals the norm of the M-estimator influence function, that the underlying curvature operator coincides with the Fisher information, and that its smallest observable eigenvalue governs both the worst-case amplification of a measurement's effect and a finite-sample stability radius O(sigma/sqrt(n*lambda_min)). Operationally the theory cuts both ways. GOI is the exact per-measurement attribution, predicting the true leave-one-out pose shift with log-correlation r = 1.00; yet the influence standardized by its inlier null covariance collapses exactly to the classical chi-square residual statistic. Residual gating is thus the leverage-corrected influence test -- a first-principles explanation of its robustness -- while raw-influence gating conflates a measurement's information with its harm and is predicted to over-reject high-leverage inliers in weakly observable geometry. Controlled synthetic experiments validate every quantitative claim, and studies on five TUM RGB-D sequences (four dynamic, one static control) and two KITTI odometry sequences confirm the prediction: parity of the two criteria under well-conditioned geometry, and significant degradation of raw-influence gating at cond(H) of order 10^4. All code is released for reproducibility.
