Fast visual SLAM method based on point and line features

为了提高RGB-D相机同时定位与地图构建(SLAM)系统在弱纹理场景下的定位精度和鲁棒性,提出快速的基于点线特征的SLAM方法.在非关键帧的追踪过程中,基于描述子进行点特征匹配,基于几何约束进行线特征匹配;当插入新的关键帧时,计算线特征描述子以完成关键帧间的线特征匹配,并利用线特征三角化算法生成地图线.通过降低线特征匹配过程运算量来提高SLAM系统的实时性.此外,利用线特征的深度测量信息构造虚拟右目线段,并提出新的线特征重投影误差计算方法.在公开数据集上的实验结果表明,与ORB-SLAM2等主流方法相比,所提算法提高了RGB-D SLAM系统在弱纹理场景下的定位精度;与传统点线特征结合的SLAM方法相比,所提算法的时间效率提高了约20%.

A fast simultaneous localization and mapping(SLAM)algorithm based on point and line features was proposed in order to improve the localization accuracy and the robustness of SLAM system under RGB-D cameras in low-textured scenes.During the tracking of non-keyframes,point feature matching was performed based on descriptors,and line feature matching was performed based on geometric constraints.When a new keyframe was inserted,the descriptors of the line features were calculated to complete the line feature matching between the keyframes,and the line feature triangulation algorithm was used to generate map lines.The real-time performance of the SLAM system was improved by reducing the amount of calculation in the line feature matching process.In addition,virtual right-eye lines were constructed using the depth measurement information of line features,and a new method for calculating reprojection errors of line features was proposed.Experimental results on public datasets showed that compared with mainstream methods such as ORB-SLAM2,the proposed algorithm improved the localization accuracy of the RGB-D SLAM system in low-textured scenes.The time efficiency of the proposed algorithm was improved by about 20%compared with traditional SLAM method combining point and line features.
