State estimation with sensors is essential for mobile robots. Due to different performance of sensors in different environments, how to fuse measurements of various sensors is a problem. In this paper, we propose a tightly coupled multi-sensor fusion framework, Lvio-Fusion, which fuses stereo camera, Lidar, IMU, and GPS based on the graph optimization. Especially for urban traffic scenes, we introduce a segmented global pose graph optimization with GPS and loop-closure, which can eliminate accumulated drifts. Additionally, we creatively use a actor-critic method in reinforcement learning to adaptively adjust sensors weight. After training, actor-critic agent can provide the system better and dynamic sensors weight. We evaluate the performance of our system on public datasets and compare it with other state-of-the-art methods, which shows that the proposed method achieves high estimation accuracy and robustness to various environments. And our implementations are open source and highly scalable.
