自主无人机竞速在高速飞行、剧烈机动和载荷受限条件下对实时定位提出挑战,常依赖单摄像头感知。现有视觉SLAM系统在竞速动态下易受运动模糊和特征不稳影响,且未利用竞速环境的结构化特性。本文提出一种双姿态图架构,融合里程计与语义检测实现鲁棒定位:临时图在关键帧间累积多组门框观测,优化为单一精炼约束并传递至持久主图。该设计在保留高频检测信息的同时,防止图膨胀影响实时性能。系统具传感器无关性,本研究采用单目惯性里程计与视觉门框检测进行验证。在TII-RATM数据集上的实验表明,相比独立VIO,ATE降低56%至74%;消融实验显示,在相同计算成本下,双图架构比单图基线提升10%至12%精度。在A2RL竞赛中部署证明,系统可实现飞行时实时机载定位,每圈将里程计漂移减少最多4.2米。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Autonomous drone racing demands robust real-time localization under extreme conditions: high-speed flight, aggressive maneuvers, and payload-constrained platforms that often rely on a single camera for perception. Existing visual SLAM systems, while effective in general scenarios, struggle with motion blur and feature instability inherent to racing dynamics, and do not exploit the structured nature of racing environments. In this work, we present a dual pose-graph architecture that fuses odometry with semantic detections for robust localization. A temporary graph accumulates multiple gate observations between keyframes and optimizes them into a single refined constraint per landmark, which is then promoted to a persistent main graph. This design preserves the information richness of frequent detections while preventing graph growth from degrading real-time performance. The system is designed to be sensor-agnostic, although in this work we validate it using monocular visual-inertial odometry and visual gate detections. Experimental evaluation on the TII-RATM dataset shows a 56% to 74% reduction in ATE compared to standalone VIO, while an ablation study confirms that the dual-graph architecture achieves 10% to 12% higher accuracy than a single-graph baseline at identical computational cost. Deployment in the A2RL competition demonstrated that the system performs real-time onboard localization during flight, reducing the drift of the odometry baseline by up to 4.2 m per lap.
