摘要: 针对大规模长序列无人机(UAV)影像定位中存在的速度慢、误差漂移等问题,结合UAV影像的特点,提出了一种基于场景图划分的UAV影像定位算法。首先,利用全球定位系统(GPS)辅助信息缩小特征匹配的空间搜索范围,从而加速同名点的提取;之后结合视觉一致性和空间一致性来构建场景图,并利用归一化割(Ncut)对其进行划分;接着,对各组场景图进行增量重建;最后,利用光束法平差(BA)融合场景图从而计算出场景的三维模型。此外,在BA阶段,所提算法对代价函数进行扩充,即加入了GPS空间约束信息。在四个UAV影像数据集上的实验结果表明,与COLMAP等多种运动恢复结构(SFM)算法相比,所提算法的定位速度提升了50%,重投影误差减小了41%,定位误差控制在0.5m之内。此外,通过有无GPS辅助下的算法的实验对比,可以得知引入相对和绝对GPS约束的BA有效解决了误差漂移问题,避免了出现歧义性结果,并且极大地减小了定位误差。

Abstract: Due to the problems of slow speed and error drift in the positioning of large-scale long-sequence Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) images, a positioning algorithm of UAV images based on scene graph division was proposed according to the characteristics of UAV images. Firstly, the Global Positioning System (GPS) ancillary information was used to narrow the spatial search scope for feature matching, so as to accelerate the extraction of corresponding points. After that, visual consistency and spatial consistency were combined to construct the scene graphs, and Normalized Cut (Ncut) was used to divide them. Then, incremental reconstruction was performed to each group of scene graphs. Finally, all scene graphs were fused to establish a 3S scene model by Bundle Adjustment (BA). In addition, the GPS spatial constraint information was added to the cost function in the BA stage. In the experiments on four UAV image datasets, compared with COLMAP and other Structure From Motion (SFM) algorithms, the proposed algorithm has the positioning speed increased by 50%, the reprojection error decreased by 41%, and the positioning error was controlled within 0.5 m. Through the experimental comparison of algorithms with or without GPS assistance, it can be seen that BA with relative and absolute GPS constraints solves the problem of error drift, avoids the ambiguous results and greatly reduces positioning error.
