改进ORB-SLAM的视觉词典,提升定位与地图构建精度

HBRB-BoW: A Retrained Bag-of-Words Vocabulary for ORB-SLAM via Hierarchical BRB-KMeans

  • 用分层实数聚类再二值化方法训练词典,保留特征细节
  • 在复杂环境中显著增强词典区分度,提升回环检测准确率
  • 适合做视觉定位、SLAM系统优化的研究者和开发者

在视觉同时定位与地图构建(SLAM)中,视觉词典的质量直接影响环境表征与位置识别能力。尽管ORB-SLAM广泛使用,其基于k-majority的二值词典训练方法存在固有精度损失。传统二值聚类无法有效表达细微特征分布,导致视觉词失真,且错误随层次树结构累积放大。为此,本文提出分层二进制-实数-再二进制(HBRB)BoW算法,在分层聚类过程中引入全局实数值流,将高保真描述子信息保留至叶节点最后才进行二值化。实验表明,该方法生成的词典更具区分性且结构更优,在复杂环境下显著提升了视觉词典的表征完整性。将原ORB-SLAM的词典文件替换为本方法生成的HBRB-BoW文件,有望提升回环检测与重定位任务性能。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

In visual simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), the quality of the visual vocabulary is fundamental to the system's ability to represent environments and recognize locations. While ORB-SLAM is a widely used framework, its binary vocabulary, trained through the k-majority-based bag-of-words (BoW) approach, suffers from inherent precision loss. The inability of conventional binary clustering to represent subtle feature distributions leads to the degradation of visual words, a problem that is compounded as errors accumulate and propagate through the hierarchical tree structure. To address these structural deficiencies, this paper proposes hierarchical binary-to-real-and-back (HBRB)-BoW, a refined hierarchical binary vocabulary training algorithm. By integrating a global real-valued flow within the hierarchical clustering process, our method preserves high-fidelity descriptor information until the final binarization at the leaf nodes. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach yields a more discriminative and well-structured vocabulary than traditional methods, significantly enhancing the representational integrity of the visual dictionary in complex environments. Furthermore, replacing the default ORB-SLAM vocabulary file with our HBRB-BoW file is expected to improve performance in loop closing and relocalization tasks.
