无人机多时段建图融合,精准抑制漂移并保持局部细节
UAV-MapFusion: RTK-Aligned Uncertainty-Aware Coarse-to-Fine Multi-Session UAV Mapping

- 基于场景图初合并引入RTK时序对齐,解决飞行分段建图问题
- 利用动态时间规整与多输出高斯过程恢复缺失定位数据
- 通过不确定性感知因子图优化,显著提升地图几何精度
大规模点云地图对机器人与空间智能任务至关重要。无人机虽能高效获取大范围地图,但受限于续航与存储,单次飞行难以完成大场景建图。现有多时段地图融合方法在无人机场景中仍难以同时抑制长距离漂移并保持局部几何精度。为此,本文提出一种不确定性感知的多时段点云地图融合与粗到精优化系统:首先基于场景图进行初始多时段地图融合,再通过RTK时空对齐模块引入实时动态定位数据,其中使用动态时间规整(DTW)估计时间偏移,采用多输出高斯过程(MOGP)在不完整采样与帧丢失条件下重建连续RTK约束。在此基础上构建统一的不确定性感知因子图,并通过迭代平面因子优化进一步提升局部几何精度。真实数据集上的实验验证了该方法的有效性与鲁棒性。为促进社区研究,代码与数据集将公开发布。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Large-scale point cloud maps are essential for robotics and spatial intelligence tasks. UAVs provide an efficient means for large-scale map acquisition; however, due to limited flight endurance and onboard storage, mapping a large-scale scene within a single flight remains difficult. Existing multi-session map merging methods can extend the mapping range, yet in UAV scenarios they still struggle to simultaneously suppress long-range drift and preserve local geometric accuracy. To address this issue, an uncertainty-aware multi-session point cloud map merging and coarse-to-fine optimization system is proposed. The proposed method first performs initial multi-session map merging based on a scene graph, and then incorporates RTK observations through an RTK spatiotemporal alignment module, where temporal offsets are estimated using Dynamic Time Warping (DTW), and continuous RTK constraints are recovered using Multi-Output Gaussian Processes (MOGP) under incomplete sampling and frame dropouts. On this basis, a unified uncertainty-aware factor graph is constructed, and local geometric accuracy is further improved through iterative plane-factor refinement. Experiments on real-world datasets validate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method. To facilitate further research and development in the community, our code and dataset will be publicly released.
