  • 结合IMU重力向量和特征局部几何,推导新约束求解绝对姿态与焦距。
  • 仅需1个仿射对应或2个方向不变特征,计算成本低于传统方法。
  • 适合移动设备、无人机等资源受限场景的快速鲁棒定位系统。

惯性测量单元(IMU)已成为智能手机、无人机及扩展现实(XR)头显等消费设备的标准配置。通过融合视觉与惯性数据,定位系统在速度和鲁棒性上显著优于纯视觉或纯惯性方法。然而,传统姿态估计算法未能充分利用如SIFT等特征描述子中的局部几何信息。近期研究证明该信息对相对与绝对姿态估计有益,但其在部分标定绝对姿态估计中的应用尚未探索。本文提出利用IMU获取的重力向量与特征诱导的局部几何信息,推导联合估计绝对姿态与焦距的新约束,构建两种高效求解器:UP1PfAC(基于单个仿射对应)与UP2PfORI(需两个方向不变特征)。相比传统半标定绝对姿态方法所需的四个点对应,本方法以更少样本和更低计算开销,简化现代RANSAC类框架下的鲁棒估计。我们在大规模公开数据集上评估,结果表明所提方法在定位与焦距估计方面均实现快速且高精度性能。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Inertial measurement units (IMUs) are now standard in most consumer devices, such as smartphones, drones, and extended reality (XR) headsets. By fusing visual and inertial data, localization systems gain significantly in speed and robustness compared to vision-only or IMU-only approaches. However, traditional pose estimation methods fail to utilize the local geometric information embedded in feature descriptors like SIFT. Recent work has proved the advantages of leveraging this information for relative and absolute pose estimation, but its application to partially calibrated absolute pose estimation remains unexplored. In this paper, we derive novel constraints for joint estimation of absolute pose and focal length, making use of a gravity vector obtained from IMU data and the feature-induced local geometry, which we use to construct two efficient solvers: UP1PfAC, that operates given a single affine correspondence and UP2PfORI, which requires two orientation-covariant features. Unlike traditional, semi-calibrated absolute pose methods requiring four point correspondences, our solvers benefit from fewer samples and lower computational cost, simplifying robust estimation in modern RANSAC-like frameworks. We evaluate the proposed solvers against the state-of-the-art on large-scale public datasets and demonstrate that our method achieves fast and accurate localization and focal length estimation.
