- 完整度提升3%,切比雪夫距离降低43%
- 适合海上自主巡检与船舶损伤评估场景
准确重建海上船舶的三维模型对海事监管、损毁评估和自主航行具有重要意义。尽管三维重建技术已取得显著进展,高质量数据采集仍依赖人工设计轨迹或熟练操作员,成本高且难以扩展。接下来最佳视角(NBV)规划通过根据当前状态选择后续视角实现自动化,但现有策略主要关注空间占据情况,忽视了观测方向的历史信息。这一局限在船舶上尤为严重:复杂的上层建筑和严重自遮挡要求多视角观测,方向覆盖不足常导致重建不完整。海上环境更复杂,波浪引起的纵摇、横摇和垂荡持续改变船舶姿态和可见性,同时风扰和有限的动力资源对扫描效率提出更高要求。为此,本文提出DA-NBV,一种方向感知的NBV策略,将传统占据状态扩展为包含方向观测统计的信息。引入可学习的位置优势场(PAF),利用方向信息引导视角选择;采用局部约束动作空间和非线性覆盖率奖励函数,提升扫描效率。此外,构建了面向船舶的SeaShip-3D数据集及可配置的海况仿真环境。在不同纵摇、横摇、垂荡条件下实验表明,DA-NBV使重建完整度提升约3个百分点,切比雪夫距离降低43%,路径效率更高。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Accurate 3D reconstruction of ships at sea is important for maritime supervision, damage assessment, and autonomous maritime operations. Although 3D reconstruction has advanced considerably, high-quality data acquisition still largely relies on manually designed trajectories or skilled operators, resulting in high costs and limited scalability. Next-best-view (NBV) planning automates this process by selecting subsequent viewpoints based on the current state. However, existing NBV policies mainly model spatial occupancy while overlooking directional observation history. This limitation is particularly problematic for ships: their complex superstructures and severe self-occlusions require observations from multiple viewpoints, and insufficient directional coverage often yields incomplete reconstructions. These challenges are further amplified at sea, where wave-induced heave, roll, and pitch continuously alter the ship's pose and surface visibility. Meanwhile, wind disturbances and limited onboard power impose stricter requirements on scanning efficiency. To address these challenges, we propose DA-NBV, a direction-aware NBV policy that augments the conventional occupancy state with directional observation statistics. We introduce a learnable Position Advantage Field (PAF) that uses directional information to guide viewpoint selection. The policy further adopts a locally constrained action space and a nonlinear coverage-shaping reward to improve scanning efficiency. We also develop the ship-oriented SeaShip-3D dataset and a configurable sea-state simulation environment. Experiments under varying heave, roll, and pitch conditions show that DA-NBV improves reconstruction completeness by approximately 3 percentage points and reduces Chamfer distance by 43% while achieving higher path efficiency.
