rovio视觉里程计的笔记

rovio是一个紧耦合，基于图像块的滤波实现的VIO。

他的优点是：计算量小(EKF，稀疏的图像块)，但是对应不同的设备需要调参数，参数对精度很重要。没有闭环，没有mapping thread。经常存在误差会残留到下一时刻。

我试了一些设备，要是精度在几十厘米，设备运动不快的，一般摄像头加一般imu，不是硬件同步就是正常的rostopic 发布的时间，也能达到。

代码主要分为EKF实现的部分，和算法相关的部分，EKF是作者自己写的一个框架。先分析EKF代码

lightweight_filtering

FilterBase.hpp

template<typename Meas>
class MeasurementTimeline{
  typedef Meas mtMeas;
 //imu测量的数据存在map中，相当于一个buffer,key是时间，value 是加速度或者角速度或者图像金字塔
  std::map<double,mtMeas> measMap_;

void addMeas(const mtMeas& meas,const double &t);

}

EKF的整个流程框架

template<typename Prediction,typename... Updates>
class FilterBase: public PropertyHandler{
//imu和图像的两个MeasurementTimeline
	MeasurementTimeline<typename mtPrediction::mtMeas> predictionTimeline_;
	std::tuple<MeasurementTimeline<typename Updates::mtMeas>...> updateTimelineTuple_;

//加入imu测量值
	void addPredictionMeas(const typename Prediction::mtMeas& meas, double t){
		if(t<= safeWarningTime_) {
			std::cout << "[FilterBase::addPredictionMeas] Warning: included measurements at time " << t << " before safeTime " << safeWarningTime_ << std::endl;
		}

		if(t<= frontWarningTime_) gotFrontWarning_ = true;
		predictionTimeline_.addMeas(meas,t);
	}

//图像的MeasurementTimeline
	template<int i>
	void addUpdateMeas(const typename std::tuple_element<i,decltype(mUpdates_)>::type::mtMeas& meas, double t){
		if(t<= safeWarningTime_) {
			std::cout << "[FilterBase::addUpdateMeas] Warning: included measurements at time " << t << " before safeTime " << safeWarningTime_ << std::endl;
		}
		if(t<= frontWarningTime_) gotFrontWarning_ = true;
		std::get<i>(updateTimelineTuple_).addMeas(meas,t);
	}

//根据传入时间进行EKF的更新
	void updateSafe(const double *maxTime =  nullptr){
		//根据最新的imu测量时间，得到最近的图像测量的时间，nextSafeTime返回的是最新的图像测量时间
		bool gotSafeTime = getSafeTime(nextSafeTime);

		update(safe_,nextSafeTime);
		//清楚safetime之前的数据，但是至少留下一个测量量
		clean(safe_.t_);

	}

	void update(mtFilterState& filterState,const double& tEnd){
		while(filterState.t_ < tEnd){
			tNext = tEnd;
			//要是上一次更新之后，没有新的图像来到，就不要更新了
    		if(!getNextUpdate(filterState.t_,tNext) && updateToUpdateMeasOnly_){
    			break; // Don't go further if there is no update available
    		}
    		int r = 0;

    		//参数usePredictionMerge_是不是设置，对应的是EKF中的预测方程的f(x)设置的不一样，看代码就知道
    		if(filterState.usePredictionMerge_){
    			r = mPrediction_.predictMerged(filterState,tNext,predictionTimeline_.measMap_);
    			if(r!=0) std::cout << "Error during predictMerged: " << r << std::endl;

    				logCountRegPre_++;
    			}
    		}
    		// imu和图像的时间戳不是对齐的，存在偏差，这一段时间的imu也要做EKF预测
    		if(filterState.t_ < tNext){

旋转量使用四元数表示是4个自由度，但是旋转只要3个自由度表示，要用李代数表示。

这个是bearing vector的参数表示方式。在tangent space 中表示，这部分我只理解部分。具体的可以参考作者的博士论文，最后一章。

}

void setFromVector(V3D vec){
	const double d = vec.norm();
	if(d > 1e-6){
	  vec = vec/d;
	  q_ = q_.exponentialMap(getRotationFromTwoNormals(e_z,vec,e_x));
	} else {
	  q_.setIdentity();
	}
}

• Linearize the error around (hat{p}), you get (b(dp) = b(hat{p}) + A(hat{p}) dp)

总结

上面是我自己的无人机跑的和真实的运动捕捉系统的对比，是比较好的数据。说明在调的比较好的数据下是可以得到不错的效果。(红色是vrpn，黄色是rovio，蓝色是我给飞机的设定点，红色和黄色的差距还行，有时候比较大)

我使用的是EKF的优化是特征点位置，要是换成IEKF，优化图像块的像素差，可能效果会更好。毕竟这东西是个高度非线性函数。

那个bearing vector的公式我还不会推导，对新增的feature　的initial depth的比较精确的估计对算法精度有帮助，可以维护个地图，

当然在地图中做个local mapping thread，　也是可以的，但是感觉不能很好的和原来的算法耦合起来就没做。

这里最需要改进的应该是特征点的选取，原来算法的效率太低了。而且会发现选取的很多特征点不是那么明显的角点，有更好的选择，不过为了保持距离的限制，妥协了。还有就是速度太慢了。

出现发散的情况，一般就是outlier太多了，没有追踪足够的特征点。因为速度发散，会导致图像更新为了矫正在特征点深度位置上存在巨大的错误速度，把深度设到
无穷远去，这样图像更新就没有作用，进一步导致速度发散。一发散就不可能回来了。
