露天煤矿三维激光雷达运动畸变算法

3D LiDAR motion distortion algorithm for open-pit coal mine

  • 摘要: 近年来,随着我国煤矿业的快速发展,智能化技术的运用越来越广泛。其中,露天煤矿环境的精确定位导航技术研发显得尤为重要。同步定位和地图构建(Simultaneous Localization and Mapping,SLAM)作为无人驾驶的关键技术,在露天煤矿中的应用面临诸多挑战。由于露天煤矿道路周围环境特征点较少,且环境退化严重,SLAM技术需要根据稀疏的特征点进行定位和地图构建,难度较大。此外,由于斜坡和道路不平,传感器易产生抖动,导致机器人运行时的运动畸变问题。针对这些问题,文中提出了一种新的解决方案。首先,对传感器外部参数进行重新标定,采用惯导和激光雷达融合的方式,以增强数据的一致性和准确性。在此基础上,采用全特征点匹配方式,直接对激光雷达采集的数据进行点云降采样提取。通过在算法前端对预处理后的激光点云数据添加迭代最近点(Iterative Closest Point,ICP)匹配提取出关键帧点云X,再结合惯导数据对点云信息进行畸变校正形成点云P,再次通过迭代最近点配准X和P。此外,后端采用因子图加入了回环检测提高约束的方法,进一步提高算法在露天煤矿环境下的定位精度和建图效果。试验结果表明,文中所提算法具有较高的定位精度和完整的建图效果,未产生明显的畸变。侧壁纹理清晰,具有一定的鲁棒性,有效提高了在露天煤矿环境下的鲁棒性和精度。

     

    Abstract: In recent years, the coal mining industry in China has been experiencing rapid growth, resulting in an increasing adoption of intelligent technologies. Among these advancements, precise positioning and navigation technology for open-pit coal mining environments have become crucial. However, Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM), a key technology for unmanned driving, is currently facing significant challenges in open-pit coal mines. Limited environmental feature points and environmental degradation have necessitated SLAM to rely solely on sparse feature points for localization and mapping, thus increasing its complexity. Furthermore, sensor jitter caused by slopes and uneven roads can lead to motion distortion during robot operation. To address these challenges, a novel solution is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the external parameters of the sensors are being recalibrated. Secondly, the integration of inertial guidance and LiDAR is being utilized to improve data consistency and accuracy. This approach aims to enhance the performance of SLAM in open-pit coal mines, improving localization accuracy and mapping effectiveness. Building upon this foundation, our approach is leveraging full feature point matching to directly down sample and extract the point cloud from the LiDAR data. To enrich the preprocessed laser point cloud data, Iterative Closest Point (ICP) matching is being incorporated at the front-end of the algorithm, facilitating the extraction of the key-frame point cloud X. Subsequently, this data is being integrated with inertial guidance information to correct aberrations in the point cloud, leading to the formation of the refined point cloud P. ICP matching is once again being employed to align X and P. Furthermore, a factor graph is being incorporated into our back-end to enhance loopback detection, strengthening constraints and further improving localization accuracy and mapping effectiveness in open-pit coal mine environments. Experimental results demonstrate the high localization precision and undistorted map building capabilities of our proposed algorithm. Notably, the sidewall texture remains clear, exhibiting a certain degree of robustness, effectively enhancing both robustness and accuracy in open-pit coal mine settings.
