Sensor calibration is the fundamental block for a multi-sensor fusion system. This paper presents an accurate and repeatable LiDAR-IMU calibration method (termed LI-Calib), to calibrate the 6-DOF extrinsic transformation between the 3D LiDAR and the Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). %
Regarding the high data capture rate for LiDAR and IMU sensors, LI-Calib adopts a continuous-time trajectory formulation based on B-Spline, which is more suitable for fusing high-rate or asynchronous measurements than discrete-time based approaches. %
Additionally, LI-Calib decomposes the space into cells and identifies the planar segments for data association, which renders the calibration problem well-constrained in usual scenarios without any artificial targets. We validate the proposed calibration approach on both simulated and real-world experiments. The results demonstrate the high accuracy and good repeatability of the proposed method in common human-made scenarios.

本文提出了一种新的无目标外部标定算法,用于三维激光雷达和IMU对,使用扩展卡尔曼滤波器(EKF),利用\textit{motion based calibration constraint}进行状态更新。这些步骤包括,通过激光雷达惯性传感器套件沿所有自由度的运动激励来数据汇集,通过在最小二乘优化框架中使用上述\textit{motion based calibration constraint}的旋转分量来确定传感器间旋转,以及最后,使用\textit{motion based calibration constraint}来确定传感器间平移在扩展的卡尔曼滤波器(EKF)框架中进行状态更新。我们使用实验室收集的数据和开源(https://github.com/unmannedlab/imu_lidar_calibration)我们对机器人研究社区的贡献来实验验证我们的方法。
