调频连续波(FMCW)雷达因其在挑战传统传感器(如激光雷达和视觉)的环境中的鲁棒性,成为辅助惯性导航的有前景传感器。然而,其复杂且噪声大的测量数据导致可靠估计困难。本文通过分析FMCW雷达感知的基本测量关系,提出一种可靠估计方法。通过第一性原理推导噪声模型,并用于设计基于因子图的估计器,采用一阶近似处理测量噪声传播。仿真评估了不同噪声源的影响、一阶近似的有效性以及协方差表达式的状态依赖性。大量实测结果表明,该方法在多种野外环境和飞行剖面中均表现出更优的鲁棒性和精度,包括超出雷达标准工作范围的情况。实验还验证了仿真所得关于不同估计器配置性能行为的洞察。评估数据与估计器实现已公开于https://github.com/ntnu-arl/rig。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar is a promising sensor for aided inertial navigation, due to its robustness in environments that challenge traditional alternatives, such as LiDAR and vision. However, its widespread adoption is hindered by complex, noisy measurements, which make reliable estimation difficult. This manuscript addresses these challenges by analyzing the fundamental measurement relations of FMCW radar sensing and developing a reliable estimator. Noise models are derived by applying first principles to the underlying signal processing of a typical radar sensor. These models guide the design of a factor graph-based estimator, utilizing a first-order approximation for the measurement noise propagation. The approach is first examined through simulation, evaluating the significance of different noise sources, the validity of the first-order approximation, and the state-dependent nature of the covariance expressions. Extensive experiments demonstrate the superior robustness and accuracy of the proposed method across diverse field environments and flight profiles, including beyond the radar's standard operating range. Furthermore, the experiments confirm the insights from the simulation regarding the behavior and performance of different estimator configurations relative to their operating conditions. The evaluation data and estimator implementation are made available at https://github.com/ntnu-arl/rig.
