廉价移动计算能力的可用性不断提高，直接视觉本地化最近享有普及。与基于最新功能的方法相比，这些算法的竞争精度和鲁棒性以及它们产生密集地图的自然能力，使它们成为各种移动机器人应用程序的吸引人选择。然而，由于其基本假设的光度一致性，直接方法在外观变化时仍然脆弱，这在实践中通常违反。在本文中，我们建议通过训练深卷积编码器模型来转换场景的图像，使它们对应于以前的规范外观，以减轻此问题。我们使用高保真综合RGB-D数据集验证了多种环境和照明条件的方法，并将训练有素的模型集成到直接的视觉定位管道中，从而通过时间变化的照明条件来提高视觉探测器（VO）精度（VO）准确性随着传统方法通常失败的照明变化，随着指标重新定位的改善。我们进一步提供了对本地化环境中从合成到真实环境的转移学习的初步研究。我们使用Pytorch的方法的开源实现可在https://github.com/utiasstars/cat-net上获得。

现代计算机视觉已超越了互联网照片集的领域，并进入了物理世界，通过非结构化的环境引导配备摄像头的机器人和自动驾驶汽车。为了使这些体现的代理与现实世界对象相互作用，相机越来越多地用作深度传感器，重建了各种下游推理任务的环境。机器学习辅助的深度感知或深度估计会预测图像中每个像素的距离。尽管已经在深入估算中取得了令人印象深刻的进步，但仍然存在重大挑战：（1）地面真相深度标签很难大规模收集，（2）通常认为相机信息是已知的，但通常是不可靠的，并且（3）限制性摄像机假设很常见，即使在实践中使用了各种各样的相机类型和镜头。在本论文中，我们专注于放松这些假设，并描述将相机变成真正通用深度传感器的最终目标的贡献。

In this paper, we present a novel benchmark for the evaluation of RGB-D SLAM systems. We recorded a large set of image sequences from a Microsoft Kinect with highly accurate and time-synchronized ground truth camera poses from a motion capture system. The sequences contain both the color and depth images in full sensor resolution (640 × 480) at video frame rate (30 Hz). The ground-truth trajectory was obtained from a motion-capture system with eight high-speed tracking cameras (100 Hz). The dataset consists of 39 sequences that were recorded in an office environment and an industrial hall. The dataset covers a large variety of scenes and camera motions. We provide sequences for debugging with slow motions as well as longer trajectories with and without loop closures. Most sequences were recorded from a handheld Kinect with unconstrained 6-DOF motions but we also provide sequences from a Kinect mounted on a Pioneer 3 robot that was manually navigated through a cluttered indoor environment. To stimulate the comparison of different approaches, we provide automatic evaluation tools both for the evaluation of drift of visual odometry systems and the global pose error of SLAM systems. The benchmark website [1] contains all data, detailed descriptions of the scenes, specifications of the data formats, sample code, and evaluation tools.

In this paper, we present a novel visual SLAM and long-term localization benchmark for autonomous driving in challenging conditions based on the large-scale 4Seasons dataset. The proposed benchmark provides drastic appearance variations caused by seasonal changes and diverse weather and illumination conditions. While significant progress has been made in advancing visual SLAM on small-scale datasets with similar conditions, there is still a lack of unified benchmarks representative of real-world scenarios for autonomous driving. We introduce a new unified benchmark for jointly evaluating visual odometry, global place recognition, and map-based visual localization performance which is crucial to successfully enable autonomous driving in any condition. The data has been collected for more than one year, resulting in more than 300 km of recordings in nine different environments ranging from a multi-level parking garage to urban (including tunnels) to countryside and highway. We provide globally consistent reference poses with up to centimeter-level accuracy obtained from the fusion of direct stereo-inertial odometry with RTK GNSS. We evaluate the performance of several state-of-the-art visual odometry and visual localization baseline approaches on the benchmark and analyze their properties. The experimental results provide new insights into current approaches and show promising potential for future research. Our benchmark and evaluation protocols will be available at https://www.4seasons-dataset.com/.

作为许多自主驾驶和机器人活动的基本组成部分，如自我运动估计，障碍避免和场景理解，单眼深度估计（MDE）引起了计算机视觉和机器人社区的极大关注。在过去的几十年中，已经开发了大量方法。然而，据我们所知，对MDE没有全面调查。本文旨在通过审查1970年至2021年之间发布的197个相关条款来弥补这一差距。特别是，我们为涵盖各种方法的MDE提供了全面的调查，介绍了流行的绩效评估指标并汇总公开的数据集。我们还总结了一些代表方法的可用开源实现，并比较了他们的表演。此外，我们在一些重要的机器人任务中审查了MDE的应用。最后，我们通过展示一些有希望的未来研究方向来结束本文。预计本调查有助于读者浏览该研究领域。

在这项研究中，我们提出了一种新型的视觉定位方法，以根据RGB摄像机的可视数据准确估计机器人在3D激光镜头内的六个自由度（6-DOF）姿势。使用基于先进的激光雷达的同时定位和映射（SLAM）算法，可获得3D地图，能够收集精确的稀疏图。将从相机图像中提取的功能与3D地图的点进行了比较，然后解决了几何优化问题，以实现精确的视觉定位。我们的方法允许使用配备昂贵激光雷达的侦察兵机器人一次 - 用于映射环境，并且仅使用RGB摄像头的多个操作机器人 - 执行任务任务，其本地化精度高于常见的基于相机的解决方案。该方法在Skolkovo科学技术研究所（Skoltech）收集的自定义数据集上进行了测试。在评估本地化准确性的过程中，我们设法达到了厘米级的准确性；中间翻译误差高达1.3厘米。仅使用相机实现的确切定位使使用自动移动机器人可以解决需要高度本地化精度的最复杂的任务。

A monocular visual-inertial system (VINS), consisting of a camera and a low-cost inertial measurement unit (IMU), forms the minimum sensor suite for metric six degreesof-freedom (DOF) state estimation. However, the lack of direct distance measurement poses significant challenges in terms of IMU processing, estimator initialization, extrinsic calibration, and nonlinear optimization. In this work, we present VINS-Mono: a robust and versatile monocular visual-inertial state estimator. Our approach starts with a robust procedure for estimator initialization and failure recovery. A tightly-coupled, nonlinear optimization-based method is used to obtain high accuracy visual-inertial odometry by fusing pre-integrated IMU measurements and feature observations. A loop detection module, in combination with our tightly-coupled formulation, enables relocalization with minimum computation overhead. We additionally perform four degrees-of-freedom pose graph optimization to enforce global consistency. We validate the performance of our system on public datasets and real-world experiments and compare against other state-of-the-art algorithms. We also perform onboard closed-loop autonomous flight on the MAV platform and port the algorithm to an iOS-based demonstration. We highlight that the proposed work is a reliable, complete, and versatile system that is applicable for different applications that require high accuracy localization. We open source our implementations for both PCs 1 and iOS mobile devices 2 .

We propose AstroSLAM, a standalone vision-based solution for autonomous online navigation around an unknown target small celestial body. AstroSLAM is predicated on the formulation of the SLAM problem as an incrementally growing factor graph, facilitated by the use of the GTSAM library and the iSAM2 engine. By combining sensor fusion with orbital motion priors, we achieve improved performance over a baseline SLAM solution. We incorporate orbital motion constraints into the factor graph by devising a novel relative dynamics factor, which links the relative pose of the spacecraft to the problem of predicting trajectories stemming from the motion of the spacecraft in the vicinity of the small body. We demonstrate the excellent performance of AstroSLAM using both real legacy mission imagery and trajectory data courtesy of NASA's Planetary Data System, as well as real in-lab imagery data generated on a 3 degree-of-freedom spacecraft simulator test-bed.

我们提出了一个基于深度神经网络深度预测的比例感知直接单眼遗传学的通用框架。与以前的深度信息仅部分利用的方法相反，我们制定了一种新颖的深度预测残差，使我们能够合并多视图深度信息。此外，我们建议使用截短的稳健成本函数，以防止考虑不一致的深度估计。光度法和深度预测测量值集成到紧密耦合的优化中，从而导致尺度感知的单眼系统，该系统不会累积尺度漂移。我们的建议没有针对具体的神经网络的特殊性，能够与绝大多数现有的深度预测解决方案一起工作。我们使用两个公开可用的神经网络在Kitti Odometry数据集上评估该提案的有效性和普遍性，并将其与类似方法进行比较，以及单眼和立体声猛击的最新方法。实验表明，我们的提议在很大程度上要优于经典的单眼大满贯，更精确的5至9倍，击败了类似的方法，并且具有更接近立体系统的精度。

Visual Inertial Odometry (VIO) is one of the most established state estimation methods for mobile platforms. However, when visual tracking fails, VIO algorithms quickly diverge due to rapid error accumulation during inertial data integration. This error is typically modeled as a combination of additive Gaussian noise and a slowly changing bias which evolves as a random walk. In this work, we propose to train a neural network to learn the true bias evolution. We implement and compare two common sequential deep learning architectures: LSTMs and Transformers. Our approach follows from recent learning-based inertial estimators, but, instead of learning a motion model, we target IMU bias explicitly, which allows us to generalize to locomotion patterns unseen in training. We show that our proposed method improves state estimation in visually challenging situations across a wide range of motions by quadrupedal robots, walking humans, and drones. Our experiments show an average 15% reduction in drift rate, with much larger reductions when there is total vision failure. Importantly, we also demonstrate that models trained with one locomotion pattern (human walking) can be applied to another (quadruped robot trotting) without retraining.

机器人应用不断努力朝着更高的自主权努力。为了实现这一目标，高度健壮和准确的状态估计是必不可少的。事实证明，结合视觉和惯性传感器方式可以在短期应用中产生准确和局部一致的结果。不幸的是，视觉惯性状态估计器遭受长期轨迹漂移的积累。为了消除这种漂移，可以将全球测量值融合到状态估计管道中。全球测量的最著名和广泛可用的来源是全球定位系统（GPS）。在本文中，我们提出了一种新颖的方法，该方法完全结合了立体视觉惯性同时定位和映射（SLAM），包括视觉循环封闭，并在基于紧密耦合且基于优化的框架中融合了全球传感器模式。结合了测量不确定性，我们提供了一个可靠的标准来解决全球参考框架初始化问题。此外，我们提出了一个类似环路的优化方案，以补偿接收GPS信号中断电中累积的漂移。在数据集和现实世界中的实验验证表明，与现有的最新方法相比，与现有的最新方法相比，我们对GPS辍学方法的鲁棒性以及其能够估算高度准确且全球一致的轨迹的能力。

This paper presents ORB-SLAM3, the first system able to perform visual, visual-inertial and multi-map SLAM with monocular, stereo and RGB-D cameras, using pin-hole and fisheye lens models.The first main novelty is a feature-based tightly-integrated visual-inertial SLAM system that fully relies on Maximum-a-Posteriori (MAP) estimation, even during the IMU initialization phase. The result is a system that operates robustly in real time, in small and large, indoor and outdoor environments, and is two to ten times more accurate than previous approaches.The second main novelty is a multiple map system that relies on a new place recognition method with improved recall. Thanks to it, ORB-SLAM3 is able to survive to long periods of poor visual information: when it gets lost, it starts a new map that will be seamlessly merged with previous maps when revisiting mapped areas. Compared with visual odometry systems that only use information from the last few seconds, ORB-SLAM3 is the first system able to reuse in all the algorithm stages all previous information. This allows to include in bundle adjustment co-visible keyframes, that provide high parallax observations boosting accuracy, even if they are widely separated in time or if they come from a previous mapping session.Our experiments show that, in all sensor configurations, ORB-SLAM3 is as robust as the best systems available in the literature, and significantly more accurate. Notably, our stereo-inertial SLAM achieves an average accuracy of 3.5 cm in the EuRoC drone and 9 mm under quick hand-held motions in the room of TUM-VI dataset, a setting representative of AR/VR scenarios. For the benefit of the community we make public the source code.

在现有方法中，LIDAR的探测器显示出卓越的性能，但视觉探测器仍被广泛用于其价格优势。从惯例上讲，视觉检验的任务主要依赖于连续图像的输入。但是，探测器网络学习图像提供的异性几何信息非常复杂。在本文中，将伪LIDAR的概念引入了探测器中以解决此问题。伪LIDAR点云背面项目由图像生成的深度图中的3D点云，这改变了图像表示的方式。与立体声图像相比，立体声匹配网络生成的伪lidar点云可以得到显式的3D坐标。由于在3D空间中发生了6个自由度（DOF）姿势转换，因此伪宽点云提供的3D结构信息比图像更直接。与稀疏的激光雷达相比，伪驱动器具有较密集的点云。为了充分利用伪LIDAR提供的丰富点云信息，采用了投射感知的探测管道。以前的大多数基于激光雷达的算法从点云中采样了8192点，作为探视网络的输入。投影感知的密集探测管道采用从图像产生的所有伪lidar点云，除了误差点作为网络的输入。在图像中充分利用3D几何信息时，图像中的语义信息也用于探视任务中。 2D-3D的融合是在仅基于图像的进程中实现的。 Kitti数据集的实验证明了我们方法的有效性。据我们所知，这是使用伪LIDAR的第一种视觉探光法。

摄像机是自动化驱动系统中的主要传感器。它们提供高信息密度，并对检测为人类视野提供的道路基础设施线索最优。环绕式摄像机系统通常包括具有190 {\ DEG} +视野的四个鱼眼相机，覆盖在车辆周围的整个360 {\ DEG}集中在近场传感上。它们是低速，高精度和近距离传感应用的主要传感器，如自动停车，交通堵塞援助和低速应急制动。在这项工作中，我们提供了对这种视觉系统的详细调查，在可以分解为四个模块化组件的架构中，设置调查即可识别，重建，重建和重组。我们共同称之为4R架构。我们讨论每个组件如何完成特定方面，并提供一个位置论证，即它们可以协同组织以形成用于低速自动化的完整感知系统。我们通过呈现来自以前的作品的结果，并通过向此类系统提出架构提案来支持此参数。定性结果在视频中呈现在HTTPS://youtu.be/ae8bcof7777uy中。

近几十年来，Camera-IMU（惯性测量单元）传感器融合已经过度研究。已经提出了具有自校准的运动估计的许多可观察性分析和融合方案。然而，它一直不确定是否在一般运动下观察到相机和IMU内在参数。为了回答这个问题，我们首先证明，对于全球快门Camera-IMU系统，所有内在和外在参数都可以观察到未知的地标。鉴于此，滚动快门（RS）相机的时间偏移和读出时间也证明是可观察到的。接下来，为了验证该分析并解决静止期间结构无轨滤波器的漂移问题，我们开发了一种基于关键帧的滑动窗滤波器（KSWF），用于测量和自校准，它适用于单眼RS摄像机或立体声RS摄像机。虽然关键帧概念广泛用于基于视觉的传感器融合，但对于我们的知识，KSWF是支持自我校准的首先。我们的模拟和实际数据测试验证了，可以使用不同运动的机会主义地标的观察来完全校准相机-IMU系统。实际数据测试确认了先前的典故，即保持状态矢量的地标可以弥补静止漂移，并显示基于关键帧的方案是替代治疗方法。

Although cameras are ubiquitous, robotic platforms typically rely on active sensors like LiDAR for direct 3D perception. In this work, we propose a novel self-supervised monocular depth estimation method combining geometry with a new deep network, PackNet, learned only from unlabeled monocular videos. Our architecture leverages novel symmetrical packing and unpacking blocks to jointly learn to compress and decompress detail-preserving representations using 3D convolutions. Although self-supervised, our method outperforms other self, semi, and fully supervised methods on the KITTI benchmark. The 3D inductive bias in PackNet enables it to scale with input resolution and number of parameters without overfitting, generalizing better on out-of-domain data such as the NuScenes dataset. Furthermore, it does not require large-scale supervised pretraining on ImageNet and can run in real-time. Finally, we release DDAD (Dense Depth for Automated Driving), a new urban driving dataset with more challenging and accurate depth evaluation, thanks to longer-range and denser ground-truth depth generated from high-density LiDARs mounted on a fleet of self-driving cars operating world-wide. †
