香港科技大学的VINS_MONO初试

简介

VINS-Mono 是香港科技大学开源的一个VIO,我简单的测试了,发现效果不错。做个简单的笔记,详细的内容等我毕设搞完再弄。

代码主要分为前端(feature tracker),后端(sliding window, loop closure),还加了初始化(visual-imu aligment)

Feature tracker

这部分代码在feature_tracker包下面,主要是接收图像topic,使用KLT光流算法跟踪特征点,同时保持每一帧图像有最少的(100-300)个特征点。

根据配置文件中的freq,确定每隔多久的时候,把检测到的特征点打包成/feature_tracker/featuretopic 发出去,

要是没有达到发送的时间,这幅图像的feature就作为下一时刻的
KLT追踪的特征点,就是不是每一副图像都要处理的,那样计算时间大了,而且数据感觉冗余,帧与帧之间图像的差距不会那么明显。

这里的freq配置文件建议至少设置10,为了保证好的前端。

void img_callback(const sensor_msgs::ImageConstPtr &img_msg)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < NUM_OF_CAM; i++)
    {
        ROS_DEBUG("processing camera %d", i);
        if (i != 1 || !STEREO_TRACK)
        //调用FeatureTracker的readImage
            trackerData[i].readImage(ptr->image.rowRange(ROW * i, ROW * (i + 1)));
    }

    for (unsigned int i = 0;; i++)
    {
        bool completed = false;
        for (int j = 0; j < NUM_OF_CAM; j++)
            if (j != 1 || !STEREO_TRACK)
            //更新feature的ID
                completed |= trackerData[j].updateID(i);
        if (!completed)
            break;
    }
    
    //发布特征点topic
    if (round(1.0 * pub_count / (img_msg->header.stamp.toSec() - first_image_time)) <= FREQ)
    {
        sensor_msgs::PointCloudPtr feature_points(new sensor_msgs::PointCloud);
        //特征点的id,图像的(u,v)坐标
        sensor_msgs::ChannelFloat32 id_of_point;
        sensor_msgs::ChannelFloat32 u_of_point;
        sensor_msgs::ChannelFloat32 v_of_point;

        pub_img.publish(feature_points);

    }

     if (SHOW_TRACK)
     {
        //根据特征点被追踪的次数,显示他的颜色,越红表示这个特征点看到的越久,一幅图像要是大部分特征点是蓝色,前端tracker效果很差了,估计要挂了
        double len = std::min(1.0, 1.0 * trackerData[i].track_cnt[j] / WINDOW_SIZE);
        cv::circle(tmp_img, trackerData[i].cur_pts[j], 2, cv::Scalar(255 * (1 - len), 0, 255 * len), 2);
     }


}
void FeatureTracker::readImage(const cv::Mat &_img)
{
    //直方图均匀化
    //if image is too dark or light, trun on equalize to find enough features
    if (EQUALIZE)
    {
        cv::Ptr clahe = cv::createCLAHE(3.0, cv::Size(8, 8));
        TicToc t_c;
        clahe->apply(_img, img);
        ROS_DEBUG("CLAHE costs: %fms", t_c.toc());
    }

    if (cur_pts.size() > 0)
    {
        TicToc t_o;
        vector status;
        vector err;
        //根据上一时刻的cur_img,cur_pts,寻找当前时刻的forw_pts,
        cv::calcOpticalFlowPyrLK(cur_img, forw_img, cur_pts, forw_pts, status, err, cv::Size(21, 21), 3);
    }

    if (img_cnt == 0)
    {
        //根据fundamentalMatrix中的ransac去除一些outlier
        rejectWithF();
        //跟新特征点track的次数
        for (auto &n : track_cnt)
            n++;
        //为下面的goodFeaturesToTrack保证相邻的特征点之间要相隔30个像素,设置mask image
        setMask();

        int n_max_cnt = MAX_CNT - static_cast(forw_pts.size());
        if (n_max_cnt > 0)
        {
            //保证每个image有足够的特征点,不够就新提取
            cv::goodFeaturesToTrack(forw_img, n_pts, MAX_CNT - forw_pts.size(), 0.1, MIN_DIST, mask);
        }


    }
}

Slide Window

主要是对imu的数据进行预积分,vision重投影误差的构造,loop-closure的检测,slide-window的维护 ,marginzation prior的维护,东西比较多。

loop-closure的检测是使用视觉词带的,这里的特征不是feature-tracker的,那样子太少了。是通过订阅IMAGE_TOPIC,传递到闭环检测部分,重新检测的,这个我还没有认真看(做了很多限制,为了搜索的速度,词带不会很大,做了很多限制,从论文上看优化的方程只是加了几个vision重投影的限制,速度不会太慢)。

是只有4个自由度的优化,roll, pitch由于重力对齐的原因是可观测的,就不去优化。

最主要的还是下面这个最小二乘法方程构建,主要的代码我列出来。

void Estimator::processIMU(double dt, const Vector3d &linear_acceleration, const Vector3d &angular_velocity)
{

    if (frame_count != 0)
    {
        pre_integrations[frame_count]->push_back(dt, linear_acceleration, angular_velocity);
        //调用imu的预积分,propagation ,计算对应的雅可比矩阵
        //if(solver_flag != NON_LINEAR)
            tmp_pre_integration->push_back(dt, linear_acceleration, angular_velocity);

        dt_buf[frame_count].push_back(dt);
        linear_acceleration_buf[frame_count].push_back(linear_acceleration);
        angular_velocity_buf[frame_count].push_back(angular_velocity);

        //提供imu计算的当前位置,速度,作为优化的初值
        int j = frame_count;         
        Vector3d un_acc_0 = Rs[j] * (acc_0 - Bas[j]) - g;
        Vector3d un_gyr = 0.5 * (gyr_0 + angular_velocity) - Bgs[j];
        Rs[j] *= Utility::deltaQ(un_gyr * dt).toRotationMatrix();

}

后续

imu的参数很重要,还有就是硬件同步,global shutter的摄像头很重要。我要是动作快的话,效果就不行了。但人家的视频感觉效果很不错。

这个还要继续弄硬件和代码原理,代码中最小二乘法优化中的FOCAL_LENGTH感觉要根据自己的摄像头设置,还没有具体看,视觉信息矩阵的设置还没有看。

工程中具体的情况还是要自己解决,
