- 适用于车载场景,特别适合实时性要求高的自动驾驶系统。
随着视觉感知系统的进步,计算机视觉在自动驾驶与机器人导航中作用日益重要。多相机系统中的相对位姿估计对车辆精确定位与环境感知至关重要,需兼顾高实时性与强鲁棒性。现有方法通常计算开销大,依赖大量特征匹配,难以应用于时间敏感的驾驶场景。为此,本文提出一种统一的高效相对位姿估计框架,基于新颖的平移参数化与一阶旋转近似,设计了三种专为自动驾驶车辆优化的极小解法:第一种融合惯性测量单元(IMU)提供的垂直方向先验;第二种利用转向过程中的旋转轴方向先验;第三种针对地面车辆在结构化道路上的平面运动假设。通过减少最小点对应数与代数复杂度,本方法在RANSAC框架中实现更快的假设生成,更适配实时系统。在合成数据集与KITTI自动驾驶基准上的大量实验表明,所提解法在速度与精度之间取得良好平衡,优于当前主流算法。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
With the advancement of visual sensing systems, computer vision is playing an increasingly important role in autonomous driving and robot navigation. Relative pose estimation in multi-camera systems is essential for accurate vehicle localization and environment perception, demanding high real-time performance and robustness. Existing methods, however, often involve high computational costs and rely heavily on abundant feature matches, limiting their applicability in time-sensitive driving scenarios. To address these limitations, this paper introduces a unified framework for efficient relative pose estimation, built upon a novel translation parameterization and first-order rotation approximation. Within this framework, we propose three efficient minimal solvers specifically designed for autonomous vehicles. The first solver integrates the vertical direction prior from Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs), the second utilizes the rotation axis direction prior during steering maneuvers, and the third is designed for planar motion - a realistic assumption for ground vehicles operating on structured roads. By reducing both the minimal number of point correspondences and the algebraic complexity, our methods enable faster hypothesis generation within RANSAC-based pipelines, improving suitability for real-time systems. Extensive experiments on synthetic datasets and the KITTI autonomous driving benchmark demonstrate that the proposed solvers achieve a favorable balance between speed and accuracy compared to existing state-of-the-art algorithms.
