视觉惯性里程计(VIO)对移动机器人系统实现精确的6自由度位姿估计至关重要。近年基于学习的VIO方法虽取得进展,但多依赖统一的视觉-惯性表征与单一时间模型,难以捕捉旋转与平移的异质动态特性。单目视觉特征缺乏显式几何结构,原始惯性编码使旋转运动学隐含,削弱了IMU特征中的旋转线索。为此,本文提出DB-VIO:一种具备增强视觉-惯性表征的双分支视觉惯性里程计框架。该方法引入深度信息提升单目感知,注入显式积分姿态先验以强化旋转敏感的惯性表征,并将位姿估计解耦为独立的旋转与平移分支,实现运动特异性的时间建模。在自动驾驶与飞行机器人基准测试中,DB-VIO达到当前最优性能,在KITTI上较基线提升20%,在EuRoC上提升33%。尤其在欧罗巴克(EuRoC)更具敏捷性的运动模式下,旋转指标优于先前方法65.7%。结果表明,DB-VIO在多种平台与运动场景下均具有效性和泛化能力。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Visual inertial odometry (VIO) is essential for accurate 6-DoF motion estimation in mobile robotic systems. Recent learning-based VIO methods have shown promising progress, but they often rely on unified visual--inertial representations and a single temporal model for full-pose estimation, limiting their ability to capture the heterogeneous dynamics of rotation and translation. Moreover, monocular visual features often lack explicit geometric structure, while raw inertial encoding leaves the underlying rotational kinematics implicit, weakening the rotation-related cues in IMU features. To address these issues, we propose DB-VIO, a dual-branch visual inertial odometry framework with enhanced visual--inertial representation. DB-VIO incorporates depth cues to improve monocular visual perception, injects an explicit integrated-attitude prior to strengthen rotation-aware inertial representation, and decouples pose estimation into dedicated rotational and translational branches for motion-specific temporal modeling. Experiments on autonomous driving and aerial robot benchmarks show that DB-VIO achieves state-of-the-art performance, improving the corresponding baselines by 20\% on KITTI and 33\% on EuRoC. Notably, under the more agile motion patterns of EuRoC, DB-VIO improves the rotational metric by 65.7\% over prior methods. These results demonstrate the effectiveness and generalization of DB-VIO across different platforms and motion scenarios.
