Hi-LOAM: Hierarchical Implicit Neural Fields for LiDAR Odometry and Mapping
- 基于八叉树哈希表存储多尺度隐式特征,实现高效场景表达
- 自监督训练下在真实与合成数据集上均超越现有方法
- 适合需要高精度建图的自动驾驶和机器人导航场景
激光雷达里程计与建图(LOAM)是自主驾驶和机器人导航等具身智能应用的关键技术。现有大多数LOAM框架依赖监督信号或重建保真度不足,难以刻画大规模复杂场景细节。为此,我们提出一种基于激光雷达的分层隐式神经定位与建图框架——Hi-LOAM。该方法以点云为输入,利用八叉树结构在多级哈希表中学习并存储层次化潜在特征,通过浅层多层感知机(MLP)解码生成符号距离值完成建图;在位姿估计中,采用无对应关系的扫描到隐式匹配范式,实现最优位姿估计与当前扫描注册。整个训练过程为自监督,无需预训练,具备强泛化能力。在多个真实与合成数据集上的大量实验表明,与现有最先进方法相比,Hi-LOAM在有效性与泛化能力方面均表现更优。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
LiDAR Odometry and Mapping (LOAM) is a pivotal technique for embodied-AI applications such as autonomous driving and robot navigation. Most existing LOAM frameworks are either contingent on the supervision signal, or lack of the reconstruction fidelity, which are deficient in depicting details of large-scale complex scenes. To overcome these limitations, we propose a multi-scale implicit neural localization and mapping framework using LiDAR sensor, called Hi-LOAM. Hi-LOAM receives LiDAR point cloud as the input data modality, learns and stores hierarchical latent features in multiple levels of hash tables based on an octree structure, then these multi-scale latent features are decoded into signed distance value through shallow Multilayer Perceptrons (MLPs) in the mapping procedure. For pose estimation procedure, we rely on a correspondence-free, scan-to-implicit matching paradigm to estimate optimal pose and register current scan into the submap. The entire training process is conducted in a self-supervised manner, which waives the model pre-training and manifests its generalizability when applied to diverse environments. Extensive experiments on multiple real-world and synthetic datasets demonstrate the superior performance, in terms of the effectiveness and generalization capabilities, of our Hi-LOAM compared to existing state-of-the-art methods.
