用窗口化轨迹对齐提升多源定位的航向精度,尤其在信号中断时更稳定。
WinTA-GIL: Windowed Trajectory Alignment for GNSS-IMU-LiDAR Heading Refinement in Intermittent Signal Environments

- 基于时间窗口优化,融合GNSS/IMU/LiDAR数据动态修正航向。
- 在信号中断后航向误差降低62%,连续导航30分钟漂移减少47%。
- 适合自动驾驶、无人机等需长时间高精度航向的场景。
尽管多源融合定位系统已取得显著进展,但在复杂环境中缺乏重力约束且航向固有可观测性弱,导致航向估计仍具挑战。现有方法多针对初始启动阶段,依赖单次初始对齐建立航向参考,难以动态调整,易受累积漂移和观测噪声影响。本文提出WinTA-GIL框架,通过时间窗口优化策略融合GNSS、IMU与LiDAR信息。不同于传统仅限于启动阶段的对齐方法,WinTA-GIL利用LiDAR-惯性里程计(LIO)生成的高精度局部轨迹,与滤波后的GNSS观测进行匹配,将航向估计转化为可重复的轨迹一致性优化问题。引入基于状态判别的自适应重估机制,在必要时触发航向校正,有效抑制复杂条件下的惯性漂移。在开源及自采数据集上的大量实验表明,该方法在估计精度与系统鲁棒性上均显著优于现有先进方法。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Although multi-source fusion positioning systems have achieved significant progress, accurate and reliable heading estimation remains a critical challenge due to the lack of gravitational constraints and the inherent weak observability of heading in complex environments. Most existing methodologies are specifically tailored for the startup phase, relying on a singular initial alignment to establish the heading reference. Consequently, these approaches lack the adaptability required to refine heading estimates dynamically, which renders the system highly vulnerable to accumulated drift and observation noise during prolonged navigation or immediately following GNSS signal outages. To address these limitations, this paper proposes WinTA-GIL, a novel heading refinement framework that integrates information from Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), and Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) through a temporal window-based optimization strategy. Unlike conventional alignment methods restricted to the startup phase, WinTA-GIL leverages high-precision local trajectories from LiDAR-Inertial Odometry (LIO) to register against filtered GNSS observations. This approach transforms heading estimation into a repeatable, trajectory-based consistency optimization problem. In particular, an adaptive re-estimation mechanism based on state discrimination is incorporated to trigger heading corrections whenever necessary, thereby effectively suppressing the inertial drift accumulated during challenging conditions. Extensive experiments on both open-source and self-collected datasets demonstrate that WinTA-GIL significantly outperforms state-of-the-art approaches in both estimation accuracy and system robustness.
