无需训练的3D点云定位框架,解决视角不全问题。
G-PROBE: Cross-FOV Place Recognition and Certainty-Coupled Localization for 3D Point Clouds

- 通过虚拟传感器分解,统一处理不同视角配置。
- 在60度窄视场下仍保持54%召回率,是基线18倍。
- 无需外部验证模块,直接关联置信度与精确定位。
从3D点云进行全局定位在有限或非对称视场(FOV)下仍具挑战性,因现有方法依赖密集对称覆盖。本文提出G-PROBE,一种无需训练的全局定位框架,打破此假设。其前端通过虚拟传感器分解,统一处理从窄视场到全景或多传感器系统的配置;枚举跨视场分支集合以编码方向不变的位姿假设;采用无调参、尺度不变的gamma-SGRT抑制部分视场下的方向混淆,且在360度对称情况下自动失效。后端CG-GICP利用前段生成的鸟瞰置信图筛选高置信共观测点,对粗略全云点云进行优化。该置信耦合机制将描述子评估与6-DoF位姿估计直接关联,无需外部验证模块。在五个激光雷达数据集及三种模态(机械式、固态式、FMCW)上测试,G-PROBE平均取得最高学习自由多会话F1值,在全景单会话中也具竞争力。当手工设计与零样本监督基线在宽到窄传感器配对下崩溃时,它仍能端到端使用(成功率达55.0% vs. 基线不超过6.8%),在360°到60°视场不对称场景下仍保持约54%的Recall@1,约为最强学习自由基线的18倍。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Global localization from 3D point clouds remains challenging under limited or asymmetric fields of view (FOV), which fail to provide the dense, symmetric coverage that place recognition methods assume. We present G-PROBE, a learning-free global localization framework that removes this assumption. A virtual sensor decomposition runs the same pipeline, by design, on configurations ranging from a narrow-FOV sensor to a panoramic or multi-sensor rig. The front-end enumerates cross-FOV branch ensembles that encode heading hypotheses for heading-invariant place recognition. A score-scale-invariant, tuning-free gamma-SGRT suppresses heading aliasing under partial FOV and provably becomes inert at symmetric 360 degrees. The back-end, CG-GICP, refines a coarse full-cloud GICP with a pass restricted to high-certainty co-observed points selected by a bird's-eye-view certainty map (a by-product of front-end scoring). This certainty coupling links descriptor evaluation to 6-DoF metric pose estimation without an external verification module. Evaluated on five LiDAR datasets and three modalities (mechanical, solid-state, FMCW), G-PROBE attains the highest learning-free multi-session F1 on average and is competitive in panoramic single-session settings. Where hand-crafted and zero-shot supervised baselines collapse under wide-to-narrow cross-sensor pairing, it remains usable end-to-end (up to 55.0% vs. no more than 6.8% success), and under FOV asymmetry (360 to 60 degrees) it retains about 54% Recall@1, about 18x the strongest learning-free baseline.
