摘要:
连续时间SLAM为融合异构传感器同时估计平滑轨迹提供了原则性框架,特别适合处理具有非均匀读出模式的异构、异步传感器流,如卷帘快门相机、激光雷达扫描仪、雷达扫描或事件相机。在这项工作中,我们引入了G-solver,一个全高斯分布式框架,将高斯信念传播(GBP)与高斯过程(GP)运动先验相结合,用于连续时间轨迹估计。我们的GP模型提供了轨迹的概率表示,支持一致插值和数据驱动超参数的使用,而GBP提供了一种适用于分散设置的可扩展消息传递公式。由此产生的求解器自然地扩展到多相机场景,无需专门的同步或工程工作。我们在合成数据和真实数据上评估了该方法,包括卷帘快门和分布式多相机优化,展示了与现有连续时间方法相当的运行时间下的准确稳定估计。发布了开源实现。
英文摘要:
Continuous-time SLAM provides a principled framework for fusing heterogeneous sensors while estimating smooth trajectories, and is particularly well-suited for handling heterogeneous, asynchronous sensor streams with non-uniform readout patterns, such as rolling shutter cameras, LiDAR scanners, radar sweeps, or event-based sensors. In this work, we introduce G-solver, a fully Gaussian and distributed framework that combines Gaussian Belief Propagation (GBP) with Gaussian Process (GP) motion priors for continuous-time trajectory estimation. Our GP model provides a probabilistic representation of the trajectory, enabling consistent interpolation and the use of data-driven hyperparameters, while GBP offers a scalable message-passing formulation well-suited for decentralized settings. The resulting solver naturally extends to multi-camera scenarios without specialized synchronization or engineering effort. We evaluate the approach on synthetic and real data, including rolling shutter and distributed multi-camera optimization, demonstrating accurate and stable estimation with runtimes comparable to existing continuous-time methods. An open-source implementation is released.
