  • 分两阶段恢复:原地旋转放松颜色检测,再回退到记忆点重试。
  • 119次测试中86.6%成功,平均恢复时间3.26秒,每秒运行20帧。
  • 全程仅用CPU,适合低成本无图传的自主地面车辆。

低成本无人地面车辆常用于仓库、巡检通道和农田等室内场景,依赖地面标记线引导。单目相机实现线追踪成本低,但当线条被遮挡或急转弯时易丢失。传感器丰富的平台可通过激光雷达、GPS等冗余设备应对,而纯摄像头系统需在不增加硬件的前提下实时恢复。本文提出一种轻量级两阶段恢复方法:当线迹丢失时,机器人先原地缓慢旋转,逐步放宽颜色判断标准并等待多帧确认(阶段一);若仍未找到,则利用单目视觉里程计将机器人返回之前保存的“面包屑”位置重新尝试(阶段二)。系统采用深度门控HSV线跟踪器、YOLOv8n障碍物检测器与视觉里程计面包屑映射模块,可在仅CPU的硬件上以20 Hz运行。控制器在单个50毫秒控制周期内嵌入完整的MAPE-K闭环,无需外部调节管理器。在Webots仿真环境中的三个赛道上对119次故障注入实验进行评估,恢复成功率86.6%,中位恢复时间为3.26秒。结果表明,在实际成本与计算限制下,纯摄像头无人车实现可靠视觉恢复是可行的。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Low-cost unmanned ground vehicles are often used in indoor places like warehouses, inspection corridors, and farm rows, where painted floor lines guide the robot. Line following is useful because it only needs one camera and little computing power, but it can fail when the line is blocked or turns sharply and goes out of view. Sensor-rich platforms tolerate this through hardware redundancy (LiDAR, GPS, multiple cameras), but camera-only systems must recover at runtime with no additional infrastructure. This paper presents a lightweight, two-stage recovery approach that restores guideline tracking without LiDAR, GPS, or a GPU. When the line is lost, the robot first turns in place while slowly relaxing its color checks and waiting for confirmation across multiple frames (Stage 1). If the line is still not found, monocular visual odometry moves the robot back to saved breadcrumb positions before it tries again (Stage 2). The system uses a depth-gated HSV line tracker, a YOLOv8n obstacle detector, and a visual odometry breadcrumb mapper, and it runs at 20 Hz on CPU-only hardware. The controller embeds a complete MAPE-K loop within a single 50 ms control tick, with no external adaptation manager required. The approach is evaluated across 119 fault-injected episodes on three Webots simulation courses. The method was successful in 86.6% of cases, with a median recovery time of 3.26 seconds. These results demonstrate that reliable visual recovery is feasible on camera-only UGVs within practical cost and computational limits.
