论文摘要
基于激光传感器的同时定位和映射（SLAM）已被移动机器人和自动驾驶汽车广泛采用。这些大满贯系统需要用有限的计算资源来支持准确的本地化。特别是，点云注册，即，在全球坐标框架中在多个位置收集的多个LIDAR扫描的过程被视为SLAM的瓶颈步骤。在本文中，我们提出了一种功能过滤算法Pfilter，可以过滤无效的功能，因此可以大大减轻这种瓶颈。同时，由于精心策划的特征点，总体注册精度也得到提高。 我们将PFILTER集成到公认的扫描到映射激光雷达轨道框架F-LOAM，并评估其在KITTI数据集上的性能。实验结果表明，pfilter可以删除本地特征图中约48.4％的点，并将扫描中的特征点平均减少19.3％，从而节省了每帧处理时间的20.9％。同时，我们将准确性提高了9.4％。
Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) based on laser sensors has been widely adopted by mobile robots and autonomous vehicles. These SLAM systems are required to support accurate localization with limited computational resources. In particular, point cloud registration, i.e., the process of matching and aligning multiple LiDAR scans collected at multiple locations in a global coordinate framework, has been deemed as the bottleneck step in SLAM. In this paper, we propose a feature filtering algorithm, PFilter, that can filter out invalid features and can thus greatly alleviate this bottleneck. Meanwhile, the overall registration accuracy is also improved due to the carefully curated feature points. We integrate PFilter into the well-established scan-to-map LiDAR odometry framework, F-LOAM, and evaluate its performance on the KITTI dataset. The experimental results show that PFilter can remove about 48.4% of the points in the local feature map and reduce feature points in scan by 19.3% on average, which save 20.9% processing time per frame. In the mean time, we improve the accuracy by 9.4%.
