解决多人单目视频建图中的尺度漂移与误闭环问题
MR.ScaleMaster: Scale-Consistent Collaborative Mapping from Crowd-Sourced Monocular Videos

- 用尺度告警机制防止重复场景误闭环
- 引入Sim(3)锚点实现全局尺度一致,降低7.2倍误差
- 支持多种单目模型无缝融合,适合多机器人协同
从单目摄像头获取的众包协作建图有望在无需专用传感器的情况下实现可扩展的三维重建,但受限于两类尺度相关故障:在重复环境中的误闭环导致的突然尺度坍塌,以及长轨迹和单机器人尺度不确定性引发的渐进式尺度漂移,阻碍了多会话融合。本文提出MR.ScaleMaster,一种面向众包单目视频的协作建图系统,以解决上述问题。该系统引入三项关键技术:第一,尺度坍塌告警机制,在姿态图被污染前拒绝虚假闭环;第二,基于Sim(3)的锚点节点形式,将经典SE(3)框架推广为显式估计每会话尺度,消除单机器人尺度模糊性并强制全局尺度一致性;第三,模块化、开源、即插即用接口,使任意单目重建模型无需修改后端即可集成。在最多15个代理的KITTI序列上,Sim(3)方法相比SE(3)基线实现7.2倍的绝对轨迹误差(ATE)降低,告警机制成功拒绝对所有虚假闭环,同时保留全部有效约束。此外,我们展示了异构多机器人密集建图,成功在统一地图中融合MASt3R-SLAM、pi3和VGGT-SLAM 2.0。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Crowd-sourced cooperative mapping from monocular cameras promises scalable 3D reconstruction without specialized sensors, yet remains hindered by two scale-specific failure modes: abrupt scale collapse from false-positive loop closures in repetitive environments, and gradual scale drift over long trajectories and per-robot scale ambiguity that prevent direct multi-session fusion. We present MR$.$ScaleMaster, a cooperative mapping system for crowd-sourced monocular videos that addresses both failure modes. MR$.$ScaleMaster introduces three key mechanisms. First, a Scale Collapse Alarm rejects spurious loop closures before they corrupt the pose graph. Second, a Sim(3) anchor node formulation generalizes the classical SE(3) framework to explicitly estimate per-session scale, resolving per-robot scale ambiguity and enforcing global scale consistency. Third, a modular, open-source, plug-and-play interface enables any monocular reconstruction model to integrate without backend modification. On KITTI sequences with up to 15 agents, the Sim(3) formulation achieves a 7.2x ATE reduction over the SE(3) baseline, and the alarm rejects all false-positive loops while preserving every valid constraint. We further demonstrate heterogeneous multi-robot dense mapping fusing MASt3R-SLAM, pi3, and VGGT-SLAM 2.0 within a single unified map.
