Incremental Mapping with Measurement Synchronization & Compression
- 增量构建连通因子图,动态选择最优拓扑结构。
- 平均减少30%节点数,保持地图质量与传统方法相当。
- 适合多传感器异步系统的高精度定位与建图任务。
现代自动驾驶车辆和机器人依赖多种传感器进行定位与建图,地图保真度至关重要,因为精确的环境表征是稳定、精准定位的前提。因子图为传感器融合提供了强大方法,可估计最大后验解。然而,图表示的离散性与传感器测量的异步性,使状态估计难以一致。尤其在多传感器系统中,异步数据下设计最优因子图拓扑仍是开放挑战。传统方法依赖固定图结构,对不同采样率的传感器效率低下。尽管预积分技术可缓解高频传感器的问题,但适用范围有限。本文提出一种新方法,通过增量式构建连通因子图,基于外部评价标准选择最优拓扑,确保所有可用传感器数据被纳入。该方法支持图压缩,在平均减少约30%节点(优化变量)的同时,维持与传统方法相当的地图质量。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Modern autonomous vehicles and robots utilize versatile sensors for localization and mapping. The fidelity of these maps is paramount, as an accurate environmental representation is a prerequisite for stable and precise localization. Factor graphs provide a powerful approach for sensor fusion, enabling the estimation of the maximum a posteriori solution. However, the discrete nature of graph-based representations, combined with asynchronous sensor measurements, complicates consistent state estimation. The design of an optimal factor graph topology remains an open challenge, especially in multi-sensor systems with asynchronous data. Conventional approaches rely on a rigid graph structure, which becomes inefficient with sensors of disparate rates. Although preintegration techniques can mitigate this for high-rate sensors, their applicability is limited. To address this problem, this work introduces a novel approach that incrementally constructs connected factor graphs, ensuring the incorporation of all available sensor data by choosing the optimal graph topology based on the external evaluation criteria. The proposed methodology facilitates graph compression, reducing the number of nodes (optimized variables) by ~30% on average while maintaining map quality at a level comparable to conventional approaches.
