  • 通过激光雷达或单目图像提取海岸线与水面几何信息
  • 在三个真实海域数据集上,轨迹误差显著低于基线方法
  • 适合无人船在无信号环境下长期自主航行

沿海环境蕴含丰富且未被充分利用的几何结构,可提供全局参考的定位线索。本文提出两种互补的定位框架,利用岸线和水体几何特征实现无GPS自主水面航行器定位。第一种框架基于激光雷达观测水体表面,估计横滚、俯仰和垂向运动,并通过将岸线观测直接注册到卫星获取的海岸线地图中,恢复全局位置与航向。第二种框架仅依赖被动图像,通过语义分割检测岸线与地平线,从单目图像推断岸线距离;将短时局部观测构建为子地图,再与同一卫星海岸线地图注册并融合于分层因子图中。在三个真实沿海数据集上评估,激光雷达方案持续提升轨迹精度,单目架构保持长期漂移有界。此外,现代零样本基础模型可在多样沿海环境中可靠提取岸线信息。结果表明,海岸几何是无GPS海上定位中强大且可靠的全局参考信息源。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Coastal environments contain rich, largely unexploited geometric structure capable of providing globally referenced localization cues. In this work, we present two complementary localization frameworks that exploit shoreline and water-surface geometry for GPS-denied autonomous surface vessel localization. The first framework leverages LiDAR observations of the water surface to estimate roll, pitch, and heave (vertical motion), while recovering global position and heading through direct registration of shoreline observations against a satellite-derived coastline map. The second framework relies solely on passive imagery to detect the shoreline and horizon through semantic segmentation. Using the proposed coastal scene geometry, shoreline distance is inferred from monocular imagery. Shoreline observations are accumulated into short-duration local submaps, registered against the same satellite-derived coastline map, and fused within a hierarchical factor graph. Evaluated across three real-world coastal datasets, the LiDAR pipeline consistently improves trajectory accuracy over standard baselines, while the monocular architecture maintains bounded long-term drift. In addition, we establish that modern zero-shot foundation models can reliably extract shoreline observations across diverse coastal environments. Together, these results demonstrate that coastal geometry provides a powerful and dependable source of globally referenced information for GPS-denied maritime localization.
