精确的森林清查与大范围测绘对生态系统监测和可持续森林管理至关重要。多台低成本边缘平台可高效获取大范围数据,但在无GNSS信号的林下环境中,仍需无需初始化的回环检测与全局注册。该任务极具挑战性:低成本激光雷达点云稀疏且噪声大,重复的树干布局及缺乏显著几何特征导致严重感知混淆与误匹配。为此,我们提出DTIF(Delaunay Triangulation in Forests),一种轻量级基于树干拓扑的森林回环检测与全局注册框架。首先提取树干作为稳定特征点,并通过德劳内三角剖分编码其拓扑结构,实现紧凑场景表征。候选子地图通过边长与半径统计筛选,再经边-半径一致性验证及强/弱顶点支持聚合,构建加权顶点对应关系。最后,将拓扑导出的可靠性权重引入解耦鲁棒位姿估计算法,分别估计航向角、水平平移与高程平移,在重力对齐条件下实现高精度估计。在模拟与真实森林数据集上的实验表明,DTIF在低计算开销下实现了精准注册,兼顾鲁棒性、效率与资源受限边缘平台的可部署性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Accurate forest inventory and large-scale mapping are essential for ecosystem monitoring and sustainable forest management. Multiple low-cost edge platforms enable efficient large-area data acquisition, but merging independently constructed local maps in GNSS-denied understory environments still requires initialization-free loop closure detection and global registration. This task is challenging because low-cost LiDAR point clouds are sparse and noisy, while repetitive trunk layouts and the lack of distinctive geometric landmarks lead to severe perceptual aliasing and false correspondences. To address these issues, we propose DTIF (Delaunay Triangulation in Forests), a lightweight trunk-topology-based framework for forest loop closure detection and global registration. Tree trunks are first extracted as stable landmarks and encoded using a Delaunay topology for compact scene representation. Candidate submaps are then screened using edge-length and radius statistics, followed by edge--radius consistency verification and strong/weak vertex support aggregation to construct weighted vertex correspondences. Finally, topology-derived reliability weights are incorporated into a decoupled robust pose estimator that separately estimates yaw, horizontal translation, and elevation translation under gravity alignment. Experiments on simulated and real-world forest datasets demonstrate that DTIF achieves accurate registration with low computational overhead, providing a favorable balance among robustness, efficiency, and deployability on resource-constrained edge platforms.
