顾及图像增强的煤矿井下视觉同时定位与建图算法

Visual simultaneous localization and mapping algorithm of coal mine underground considering image enhancement

  • 摘要: 基于特征点法的视觉同时定位与建图(SLAM)算法在煤矿井下有一定应用,但受光照不均、光照多变、明暗区域交错等因素影响,图像质量较差、纹理信息匮乏,导致视觉SLAM前端特征提取与匹配精度较低,易出现跟踪丢失问题,影响视觉SLAM算法的定位精度与建图效果。提出一种顾及图像增强的煤矿井下视觉SLAM算法,通过图像增强处理提升视觉SLAM的整体性能。采用基于改进双边滤波的Retinex算法对煤矿井下图像进行增强处理:将原始RGB图像转换至HSI色彩空间,以改进的双边滤波代替传统Retinex算法的高斯滤波作为中心环绕函数,对图像反射分量进行估计后转换至RGB色彩空间,得到最终增强图像。将基于改进双边滤波的Retinex算法引入经典ORB−SLAM2算法框架进行位姿估计和建图。基于矿井轮式机器人数据采集平台在煤矿井下巷道环境中对顾及图像增强的视觉SLAM算法进行试验,结果表明:与传统Retinex算法相比,经基于改进双边滤波的Retinex算法增强后的煤矿井下图像未出现明显的泛白及光晕现象,图像质量得到提升;与ORB−SLAM2算法相比,顾及图像增强的视觉SLAM算法提高了特征匹配质量和数量,估计轨迹与真实轨迹的重合度更高,绝对轨迹误差平均值下降了76.2%,且建立的井下巷道三维稠密点云地图更加真实和准确。

     

    Abstract: The visual simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithm based on the feature point method has certain applications in coal mines. However, due to factors such as uneven lighting, variable lighting, and alternating light and dark areas, the image quality is poor and texture information is lacking. This results in low precision of feature extraction and matching in the front end of visual SLAM. The problem of tracking loss is prone to occur, which affects the positioning precision and mapping effect of the visual SLAM algorithm. This study proposes a visual SLAM algorithm of coal mine underground considering image enhancement. The overall performance of visual SLAM is improved through image enhancement processing. Retinex algorithm based on improved bilateral filter is used to enhance the coal mine underground image. The original RGB image is converted to HSI color space, and the improved bilateral filter replaces the Gaussian filter of the traditional Retinex algorithm as the central surrounding function. After the image reflection component is estimated, it is converted to RGB color space to obtain the final enhanced image. Retinex algorithm based on improved bilateral filter is introduced into the classical ORB-SLAM2 algorithm framework for pose estimation and mapping. Based on the data collection platform of the wheeled mine-used robot, the visual SLAM algorithm considering image enhancement is tested in the roadway environment of coal mine underground. The results show that, compared with the traditional Retinex algorithm, the coal mine image enhanced by the Retinex algorithm based on improved bilateral filter does not show obvious whitening and halo, and the image quality is improved. Compared with the ORB-SLAM2 algorithm, the visual SLAM algorithm considering image enhancement improves the quality and quantity of feature matching. It has a higher degree of overlap between estimated trajectories and real trajectories. It reduces the mean absolute trajector error by 76.2%. It establishes a more realistic and accurate 3D dense point cloud map of underground roadway.
