用最优传输匹配线段,提升低纹理下的视觉惯性里程计鲁棒性
OTPL-VIO: Robust Visual-Inertial Odometry with Optimal Transport Line Association and Adaptive Uncertainty
- 线段用深度特征+最优传输全局匹配,支持未匹配观测
- 实测在EuRoC和UMA-VI上精度优于主流方法
- 适合弱纹理或光照突变场景的机器人定位
在低纹理场景和剧烈光照变化下,传统立体视觉惯性里程计(VIO)因点特征稀疏不稳,导致关联模糊、估计欠约束。线结构可提供互补几何信息,但多数点线融合系统依赖点引导线匹配,在点支撑弱时易失效并引入偏差。本文提出一种立体点线VIO系统,线段采用无需训练的深度描述子,通过熵正则化最优传输进行全局质量传输匹配,能处理模糊、异常值和部分观测情况。为增强估计稳定性,分析了线测量噪声影响,引入可靠性自适应加权调节线约束权重。在EuRoC和UMA-VI数据集上的实验,以及真实低纹理与光照挑战环境部署,均验证了该方法在保持实时性能的同时,相比代表性基线提升了精度与鲁棒性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Robust stereo visual-inertial odometry (VIO) remains challenging in low-texture scenes and under abrupt illumination changes, where point features become sparse and unstable, leading to ambiguous association and under-constrained estimation. Line structures offer complementary geometric cues, yet many efficient point-line systems still rely on point-guided line association, which can break down when point support is weak and may lead to biased constraints. We present a stereo point-line VIO system in which line segments are equipped with dedicated deep descriptors and matched using an entropy-regularized optimal transport formulation, which performs global mass-transport assignment and supports unmatched observations under ambiguity, outliers, and partial observations. The proposed descriptor is training-free and is computed by sampling and pooling network feature maps. To improve estimation stability, we analyze the impact of line measurement noise and introduce reliability-adaptive weighting to regulate the influence of line constraints during optimization. Experiments on EuRoC and UMA-VI, together with real-world deployments in low-texture and illumination-challenging environments, demonstrate improved accuracy and robustness over representative baselines while maintaining real-time performance.
