事件相机在水下SLAM中潜力巨大,但现有基于时间表面(TS)的方法因相机运动波动导致成像质量下降,且宽基线与重复纹理引发严重匹配失败,常致系统崩溃。为此,本文首次构建高精度事件相机水下立体SLAM系统。设计基于结构张量一致性和梯度的结构感知度量,量化评估TS的结构信息密度。将最优TS生成解耦为初始化前后的两阶段:初始化前用贝叶斯优化预测最优先验TS,跟踪阶段则采用异步在线搜索实现实时调节。通过先验视差保障精确数据关联,结合“最新观测优先”三角化机制实现稳定三维重建。作为基准与公共资源,本文还贡献首个高质量真实水下事件数据集UWE,涵盖可变运动、复杂纹理及多轨迹特征。在公开数据集与UWE上的大量实验表明,本方法相较现有最优事件相机方法具有竞争力的精度表现。代码与数据将开源。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

While event cameras offer immense potential for underwater SLAM, existing Time Surface (TS)-based methods prove highly unreliable when deployed underwater. Fluctuating camera velocities severely degrade TS imaging quality, while wide stereo baselines and repetitive underwater textures induce critical matching failures, frequently triggering system failure. To overcome these challenges, we develop the first high-accuracy event-based underwater stereo SLAM system. A structure-aware metric for TS is designed based on structure tensor coherence and gradients to quantitatively evaluate TS structural information density. By decoupling the optimal TS generation into two distinct stages based on system initialization, Bayesian Optimization(BO) first predicts an optimal prior TS sequentially before initialization while we set an asynchronous online local searching method periodically to obtain appropriate TS in real-time during the tracking stage. We use the prior disparity to guarantee precise data association and "latest-observation-first'' triangulation mechanism to realize stable triangulation. As a benchmark for these solutions and a resource for the community, we also contribute UWE, the first high-quality real-world underwater event dataset containing variable camera motions, complex textures and different trajectory features. Extensive evaluations on public datasets and UWE show the competitive accuracy performance of the proposed SLAM system compared to the state-of-the-art event-based method. The code and data will be open-sourced.
