- 适合动态、弱纹理等挑战性环境中的实时定位
主流视觉惯性里程计(VIO)系统依赖点特征进行运动估计与定位,但在复杂场景下性能下降。基于多状态约束卡尔曼滤波(MSCKF)的VIO系统还存在特征三维坐标线性化误差及测量更新延迟问题。为此,本文首次提出一种仅用位姿表示的线特征几何模型,并在此基础上构建了POPL-KF系统:通过将点与线特征坐标从测量方程中显式消除,有效缓解线性化误差,实现视觉测量的即时更新;设计统一基帧选择算法,确保在纯位姿测量模型下对相机位姿的最优约束;进一步提出基于图像网格分割与双向光流一致性的线特征过滤器,提升线特征质量。系统在多个公开数据集与真实实验中验证,优于当前最先进的滤波类方法(OpenVINS、PO-KF)和优化类方法(PL-VINS、EPLF-VINS),且保持实时性能。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Mainstream Visual-inertial odometry (VIO) systems rely on point features for motion estimation and localization. However, their performance degrades in challenging scenarios. Moreover, the localization accuracy of multi-state constraint Kalman filter (MSCKF)-based VIO systems suffers from linearization errors associated with feature 3D coordinates and delayed measurement updates. To improve the performance of VIO in challenging scenes, we first propose a pose-only geometric representation for line features. Building on this, we develop POPL-KF, a Kalman filter-based VIO system that employs a pose-only geometric representation for both point and line features. POPL-KF mitigates linearization errors by explicitly eliminating both point and line feature coordinates from the measurement equations, while enabling immediate update of visual measurements. We also design a unified base-frames selection algorithm for both point and line features to ensure optimal constraints on camera poses within the pose-only measurement model. To further improve line feature quality, a line feature filter based on image grid segmentation and bidirectional optical flow consistency is proposed. Our system is evaluated on public datasets and real-world experiments, demonstrating that POPL-KF outperforms the state-of-the-art (SOTA) filter-based methods (OpenVINS, PO-KF) and optimization-based methods (PL-VINS, EPLF-VINS), while maintaining real-time performance.
