基于维度特征分析的低维激光雷达和相机联合标定方法研究

Research on joint calibration method of low-dimensional LiDAR and camera based on dimension feature analysis

  • 摘要: 受煤矿巷道空间有限和视觉背景高度同质化的影响,激光雷达与相机的联合标定过程易受干扰,严重影响多传感器感知系统的准确性与可靠性。针对低维激光雷达与相机联合标定中存在的有效距离范围小、标定过程复杂等问题,提出了一种基于维度特征分析的联合标定方法。首先设计了一种定制化标定板,该标定板在视觉图像和点云中均具有显著特征,有效提升了在复杂背景下的可检测性。其视觉标签区域支持多种标签形式的替换,且视觉标签中心与标定板整体中心不重合,构成非对称布局,使得标定板在传感器坐标系中方向可被唯一确定。随后,提出改进的RANSAC算法以精确定位目标点云,实现从复杂场景中分离出标定板。其次,通过计算点云的维度特征熵优化邻域尺寸,结合局部邻域的几何形状分类提取标定板的几何特征。随后,基于优化后的几何特征建立标定约束,并通过最小二乘法求解传感器间的外参矩阵,实现高精度标定。最后,在仿真环境和实际试验平台上对所提方法进行了验证,结果表明:在具有复杂背景几何形状的场景中,所提方法可实现平移误差中值为0.02 m、旋转误差中值为0.4°的标定精度。该方法能够适应井下巷道复杂环境,实现多传感器联合标定,为井下智能装备的感知系统提供有效的技术支撑。

     

    Abstract: Due to the spatial constraints of coal mine roadways and the highly homogeneous visual background, the joint calibration of LiDAR and cameras is susceptible to interference, which significantly affects the accuracy and reliability of multi-sensor perception systems. To address the challenges in joint calibration between low-dimensional LiDAR and camera, such as the limited effective calibration range and the complexity of the calibration process, this work proposes a novel calibration method based on spatial feature analysis. First, a specially designed calibration board is introduced, which exhibits distinct features in both image and point cloud, significantly enhancing detectability in complex backgrounds. The visual marker area supports the replacement of multiple types of markers, and the center of the visual marker is intentionally misaligned with the board’s geometric center to form an asymmetric layout, allowing the board's orientation to be uniquely determined in the sensor coordinate system. An improved RANSAC algorithm is introduced to accurately extract the calibration board from complex scenes. Following this, the neighborhood size is adaptively determined by evaluating the spatial feature entropy of the point cloud. Geometric features of the calibration board are subsequently extracted by integrating the optimized entropy-based neighborhood with local geometric shape classification. Subsequently, calibration constraints are constructed based on the optimized geometric features. The extrinsic parameters between sensors are then estimated using a least squares solution to achieve high-precision calibration. Finally, the proposed method is validated in both simulation and real-world experimental platforms. Results show that in scenes with complex background geometries, the method achieves a median translational error of 0.02 m and a median rotational error of 0.4°. The results demonstrate strong adaptability to complex underground environments, supporting high-precision calibration and providing effective technical support for the perception systems of underground intelligent equipment.
