  • 按语义类别加权点云残差,区分稳定与动态结构。
  • 在SemanticKITTI和RELLIS-3D上提升离线场景的位姿估计性能。
  • 适合城市、乡野等动态或稀疏特征环境中的机器人定位。

激光雷达里程计是自主机器人系统的核心组件,依赖连续点云间的几何配准来估计自身运动。然而,传统几何方法在动态或非结构化环境中表现下降,原因在于移动物体、稀疏几何特征、植被及语义模糊结构导致的不可靠对应关系。已有研究证明引入环境语义信息可缓解部分局限。本文进一步指出,并非所有环境元素对配准同样重要。为此提出语义加权ICP方法:不严格剔除特定语义类点,而是根据其预期几何稳定性为不同语义类别的点残差赋予权重。该策略使有信息量但可能不稳定的结构仍能参与配准,同时降低动态物体影响。实验在SemanticKITTI和RELLIS-3D数据集上进行,涵盖城市、高速、乡村及非铺装道路环境。结果表明,所提方法在挑战性非铺装场景中显著提升位姿估计性能;分析还显示,该加权策略的有效性高度依赖场景的结构与语义构成。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

LiDAR odometry is a fundamental component of autonomous robotic systems, relying on geometric registration between consecutive point clouds to estimate ego-motion. However, traditional geometric approaches often degrade in dynamic or unstructured environments due to unreliable correspondences caused by moving objects, sparse geometric features, vegetation, and semantically ambiguous structures. Existing works have shown that, some of these limitations can be addressed by introducing semantic information from the environment in the registration process. In this work, we build on this, and show that not all elements in the environment are equally relevant for registration. Hence, we propose a semantic class-weighted ICP for LiDAR odometry. Instead of strictly filtering out points belonging to specific semantic classes, the proposed approach weights the residuals of points belonging to semantic categories based on their expected geometric stability. This strategy enables informative but potentially unstable structures, to contribute to the registration process while mitigating the influence of dynamic objects. The experimental evaluation was conducted on the SemanticKITTI and RELLIS-3D datasets, which include urban, highway, rural, and off-road environments. The empirical results show that the proposed Semantic-weighted ICP improves pose estimation, especially in challenging off-road scenarios where conventional rigid features are scarce. Furthermore, the analysis reveals that the effectiveness of this weighting strategy is highly environment-dependent, influenced by the structural and semantic composition of the scene.
