Rescue robot three-dimensional environment map real-time construction method

Abstract

The invention discloses a rescue robot three-dimensional environment map real-time construction method. According to the method, an efficient speeded up robust feature (SURF) algorithm is adopted to carry out recognition and matching of feature points; next, an interval analysis method is proposed, roughly matched pose transformation matrixes are generated. The method has good robustness and can contain all possible values under the situation that one set of constraint conditions are given. In order to overcome the defect that the iterative process probably can not converge the globally optimal solution through an ICP algorithm, an improved closest point select method is proposed: for a measure point in a point cloud A, three points, closest to the measure point, in a point cloud B are solved to form a plane, an intersection of normal vector passing the measurement point in the plane and the plane is regarded as the closest point, and consequently the accuracy of the algorithm is well improved. In addition, the approach combining an inertial management unit (IMU), odometer data and the pose transformation matrixes is adopted, so that the algorithm has better robustness, and accurate location can be achieved under the condition that feature point matching is unsuccessful or the environment dynamically changes.
