Pavement condition is crucial for civil infrastructure maintenance. This task usually requires efficient road damage localization, which can be accomplished by the visual odometry system embedded in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). However, the state-of-the-art visual odometry and mapping methods suffer from large drift under the degeneration of the scene structure. To alleviate this issue, we integrate normal constraints into the visual odometry process, which greatly helps to avoid large drift. By parameterizing the normal vector on the tangential plane, the normal factors are coupled with traditional reprojection factors in the pose optimization procedure. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed system. The overall absolute trajectory error is improved by approximately 20%, which indicates that the estimated trajectory is much more accurate than that obtained using other state-of-the-art methods.

Combining multiple LiDARs enables a robot to maximize its perceptual awareness of environments and obtain sufficient measurements, which is promising for simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). This paper proposes a system to achieve robust and
simultaneous extrinsic calibration, odometry, and mapping for multiple LiDARs. Our approach starts with measurement preprocessing to extract edge and planar features from raw measurements. After a motion and extrinsic initialization procedure, a sliding window-based multi-LiDAR odometry runs onboard to estimate poses with online calibration refinement and convergence identification. We further develop a mapping algorithm to construct a global map and optimize poses with sufficient features together with a method to model and reduce data uncertainty. We validate our approachs performance with extensive experiments on ten sequences (4.60km total length) for the calibration and SLAM and compare them against the state-of-the-art. We demonstrate that the proposed work is a complete, robust, and extensible system for various multi-LiDAR setups. The source code, datasets, and demonstrations are available at https://ram-lab.com/file/site/m-loam.
This work proposes a novel SLAM framework for stereo and visual inertial odometry estimation. It builds an efficient and robust parametrization of co-planar points and lines which leverages specific geometric constraints to improve camera pose optimi
zation in terms of both efficiency and accuracy. %reduce the size of the Hessian matrix in the optimization. The pipeline consists of extracting 2D points and lines, predicting planar regions and filtering the outliers via RANSAC. Our parametrization scheme then represents co-planar points and lines as their 2D image coordinates and parameters of planes. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method by comparing it to traditional parametrizations in a novel Monte-Carlo simulation set. Further, the whole stereo SLAM and VIO system is compared with state-of-the-art methods on the public real-world dataset EuRoC. Our method shows better results in terms of accuracy and efficiency than the state-of-the-art. The code is released at https://github.com/LiXin97/Co-Planar-Parametrization.
Ego-motion estimation is a fundamental requirement for most mobile robotic applications. By sensor fusion, we can compensate the deficiencies of stand-alone sensors and provide more reliable estimations. We introduce a tightly coupled lidar-IMU fusio
n method in this paper. By jointly minimizing the cost derived from lidar and IMU measurements, the lidar-IMU odometry (LIO) can perform well with acceptable drift after long-term experiment, even in challenging cases where the lidar measurements can be degraded. Besides, to obtain more reliable estimations of the lidar poses, a rotation-constrained refinement algorithm (LIO-mapping) is proposed to further align the lidar poses with the global map. The experiment results demonstrate that the proposed method can estimate the poses of the sensor pair at the IMU update rate with high precision, even under fast motion conditions or with insufficient features.
Motion estimation by fusing data from at least a camera and an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) enables many applications in robotics. However, among the multitude of Visual Inertial Odometry (VIO) methods, few efficiently estimate device motion with
consistent covariance, and calibrate sensor parameters online for handling data from consumer sensors. This paper addresses the gap with a Keyframe-based Structureless Filter (KSF). For efficiency, landmarks are not included in the filters state vector. For robustness, KSF associates feature observations and manages state variables using the concept of keyframes. For flexibility, KSF supports anytime calibration of IMU systematic errors, as well as extrinsic, intrinsic, and temporal parameters of each camera. Estimator consistency and observability of sensor parameters were analyzed by simulation. Sensitivity to design options, e.g., feature matching method and camera count was studied with the EuRoC benchmark. Sensor parameter estimation was evaluated on raw TUM VI sequences and smartphone data. Moreover, pose estimation accuracy was evaluated on EuRoC and TUM VI sequences versus recent VIO methods. These tests confirm that KSF reliably calibrates sensor parameters when the data contain adequate motion, and consistently estimate motion with accuracy rivaling recent VIO methods. Our implementation runs at 42 Hz with stereo camera images on a consumer laptop.
In this paper, we propose a novel laser-inertial odometry and mapping method to achieve real-time, low-drift and robust pose estimation in large-scale highway environments. The proposed method is mainly composed of four sequential modules, namely sca
n pre-processing module, dynamic object detection module, laser-inertial odometry module and laser mapping module. Scan pre-processing module uses inertial measurements to compensate the motion distortion of each laser scan. Then, the dynamic object detection module is used to detect and remove dynamic objects from each laser scan by applying CNN segmentation network. After obtaining the undistorted point cloud without moving objects, the laser inertial odometry module uses an Error State Kalman Filter to fuse the data of laser and IMU and output the coarse pose estimation at high frequency. Finally, the laser mapping module performs a fine processing step and the Frame-to-Model scan matching strategy is used to create a static global map. We compare the performance of our method with two state-ofthe-art methods, LOAM and SuMa, using KITTI dataset and real highway scene dataset. Experiment results show that our method performs better than the state-of-the-art methods in real highway environments and achieves competitive accuracy on the KITTI dataset.
