Efficient Minimal Solvers for Visual-Inertial Relative Pose Estimation in Multi-Camera Systems

- 基于IMU的垂直或旋转轴方向先验,仅需4个点对应
- 将问题化为6次多项式求解,计算复杂度低于现有方法
- 适用于RANSAC框架,适合自动驾驶等实时场景
多相机系统相对位姿估计是计算机视觉中的基础问题,广泛应用于自动驾驶、移动设备和无人机。然而,现有方法通常计算复杂度高或依赖过多点对应,限制了实际应用。为此,本文提出两种高效最小解法,采用新颖参数化方式:第一种利用惯性测量单元(IMU)提供的垂直方向先验,第二种利用IMU提供的旋转轴方向先验。所提方法仅需四个点对应,将多相机相对位姿估计问题转化为求解一个一元六次多项式,显著优于现有方法通常涉及的八次多项式。该降低的计算复杂度与更少的点需求,使方法在RANSAC框架中表现更优,展现出在视觉里程计中的强大潜力。通过在合成数据和KITTI基准上的严格评估,本方法在计算效率上优于当前最优算法,同时保持竞争性精度。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Estimating the relative poses of multi-camera systems is a fundamental problem in computer vision, with critical applications in autonomous vehicles, mobile devices, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). However, existing solutions often suffer from high computational complexity or rely on an excessive number of point correspondences, limiting their real-world applicability. To address these limitations, we propose two efficient minimal solvers for estimating the relative poses of multi-camera systems using a novel parameterization. The first solver leverages the vertical direction prior provided by Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs), while the second utilizes the rotation axis direction prior from IMUs. Our methods require only four point correspondences and reduce the problem of multi-camera relative pose estimation to solving a univariate 6th-degree polynomial, a significant improvement over existing approaches, which typically involve 8th-degree polynomials. This reduction in computational complexity and correspondence requirements makes our solvers particularly effective when integrated into RANSAC frameworks, demonstrating strong potential for visual odometry applications. Through rigorous evaluations on synthetic data and the KITTI benchmark, our methods achieved superior computational efficiency and competitive accuracy compared to state-of-the-art algorithms.
