高质量地图对机器人导航与规划至关重要。尽管现代基于图的3D激光雷达SLAM系统轨迹精度良好,但低轨迹误差并不保证地图几何一致性,尤其在重访位置因漏检闭环和残余漂移导致局部错位。本文提出联合优化全局轨迹估计与局部地图质量的方法:首先设计一种高效估算ICP几何相关信息矩阵的框架,实现位姿图中里程计约束的合理加权;其次引入分层闭环模块,将场景识别与几何配准解耦,并设计回溯式闭环模块,利用优化后的位姿图恢复遗漏的闭环;还提出评估协议以量化重访位置的地图一致性。在多个数据集上对比现有先进方法,实验表明本方法在全局轨迹精度上持平或优于对手,且在重访位置显著提升局部几何一致性。结果表明,结合不确定性感知的里程计与几何引导的闭环优化,可生成更准确轨迹与更高品质地图。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

High-quality maps are fundamental for robotics tasks such as navigation and planning. Although modern graph-based LiDAR SLAM systems achieve good trajectory accuracies, a low trajectory error alone does not guarantee geometrically consistent maps, particularly at revisit locations where missed loop closures and residual drift can produce local misalignments. In this work, we address the problem of jointly improving global trajectory estimation and local map quality in 3D LiDAR SLAM. We first propose a framework to efficiently estimate geometry-dependent information matrices for ICP, enabling principled weighting of odometry constraints in a pose graph. We then introduce a hierarchical loop-closure module that decouples place recognition from geometric registration, together with a retroactive loop-closure module that exploits the optimized pose graph to recover missed loop closures. We also propose an evaluation protocol to measure map consistency at revisit locations. We evaluate our SLAM system on several datasets against state-of-the-art LiDAR SLAM systems. Experimental results demonstrate global trajectory accuracies on par with or better than existing methods while consistently improving local geometric map consistency at revisit locations. These results suggest that coupling uncertainty-aware odometry with geometry-guided loop-closure refinement leads to more accurate trajectories and higher-quality maps.
