稀疏激光雷达与可见光/红外成像系统的标定方法

Calibration Between Sparse LIDAR and Visible/Infrared Imaging Systems

  • 摘要: 激光雷达与成像系统之间的位姿标定是激光点云与图像像素进行融合的前提。目前主流的离线标定方法中,普通棋盘格标定板用于64线及以上的激光雷达时效果较好,而用于16线激光雷达时由于其数据稀疏而导致误差较大。而且,涉及红外成像系统的标定时,需要特制的棋盘格来获得发射率差异。本文针对稀疏激光雷达点云数据较少的问题,研究了可以同时标定激光雷达与可见光、红外成像系统的方法,设计了菱形九孔标定板,并提出几何约束损失函数来优化特征点的坐标。最后,分别使用红外和可见光成像系统与16线激光雷达进行标定,实验结果表明,平均重投影误差均在3个像素之内,取得了较好的效果。本文方法还能用于稀疏激光雷达与可见光-红外多波段成像系统的标定。

     

    Abstract: Pose estimation between LIDAR and imaging system is the prerequisite for the data fusion. Among current mainstream off-line calibration methods, common checkerboard is generally effective for 64-line and above LIDAR, but not for 16-line LIDAR due to its sparse data and will lead to large error. Furthermore, when involving calibration of infrared imaging system, specially-made checkerboard is needed to produce difference of emissivity. Aiming at the problem of less information provided by sparse LIDARs, we propose a new calibration method that can jointly calibrate LIDAR and visible/infrared imaging systems. A novel diamond-shaped nine-hole calibration board is designed, and a geometric constraint loss function is proposed to optimize the coordinates of feature points. Finally, the infrared and visible light imaging systems are used respectively, to calibrate with 16-line LIDAR. Good results are achieved and show that, all the average reprojection error is within 3 pixels. The proposed method can also be used in calibration of multi-band imaging systems that include sparse LIDAR, visible imaging system and infrared imaging system.
