无监督激光雷达检测跟踪无人机,稀疏数据下仍保持高精度。
Unsupervised LiDAR-Based Multi-UAV Detection and Tracking Under Extreme Sparsity
- 用自适应DBSCAN加时序验证实现无监督目标检测
- 最佳配置达0.891精确率、0.804召回率、0.63米误差
- 适合低点云密度下的多无人机实时追踪场景
非重复式固态激光雷达扫描导致空中无人机检测呈现极稀疏测量:小型四旋翼在10-25米距离上每帧仅产生1-2个回波,远低于现有检测方法假设的点云密度,难以实现鲁棒的多目标数据关联。本文提出一种无监督、纯激光雷达的检测与跟踪流水线,无需标注训练数据。检测器结合范围自适应DBSCAN聚类与三阶段时序一致性检验,在真实空对空飞行数据上测试了八种参数配置。最优设置达到0.891精确率、0.804召回率和0.63米均方根误差;系统性minPts扫描验证表明,多数扫描中目标点数不超过1-2个,直接量化了稀疏性。针对多目标跟踪,比较确定性匈牙利分配与联合概率数据关联(JPDA)分别搭配交互多模型滤波,在四种逐步增加混淆度的仿真场景中评估。JPDA将身份切换减少64%,对MOTA影响微乎其微,证明在无人机轨迹接近时概率关联更具优势。采用双环境评估策略——真实检测结合RTK-GPS真值,仿真跟踪结合带身份标注真值——克服了仅依赖GNSS在小于2米间距时的评估局限。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Non-repetitive solid-state LiDAR scanning leads to an extremely sparse measurement regime for detecting airborne UAVs: a small quadrotor at 10-25 m typically produces only 1-2 returns per scan, which is far below the point densities assumed by most existing detection approaches and inadequate for robust multi-target data association. We introduce an unsupervised, LiDAR-only pipeline that addresses both detection and tracking without the need for labeled training data. The detector integrates range-adaptive DBSCAN clustering with a three-stage temporal consistency check and is benchmarked on real-world air-to-air flight data under eight different parameter configurations. The best setup attains 0.891 precision, 0.804 recall, and 0.63 m RMSE, and a systematic minPts sweep verifies that most scans contain at most 1-2 target points, directly quantifying the sparsity regime. For multi-target tracking, we compare deterministic Hungarian assignment with joint probabilistic data association (JPDA), each coupled with Interacting Multiple Model filtering, in four simulated scenarios with increasing levels of ambiguity. JPDA cuts identity switches by 64% with negligible impact on MOTA, demonstrating that probabilistic association is advantageous when UAV trajectories approach one another closely. A two-environment evaluation strategy, combining real-world detection with RTK-GPS ground truth and simulation-based tracking with identity-annotated ground truth, overcomes the limitations of GNSS-only evaluation at inter-UAV distances below 2 m.
