Abstract

The invention discloses a positioning and mapping method based on millimeter-wave radar and visual SLAM. The precise distance information of the odometer is used to correct the distance size of the visual SLAM track data based on the camera, and a low-cost, high-precision, strong Robust positioning information, according to the positioning information, the point cloud scanned by the millimeter-wave radar is registered in the world coordinate system, and the position and shape of external obstacles can be drawn, thereby overcoming the problem of millimeter-wave radar compared with laser The shortcomings of radar point cloud data self-registration are poor, and the precise distance measurement capability of millimeter-wave radar and its low cost are fully utilized to achieve high-quality mapping.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of robot positioning, in particular to a positioning and mapping method based on millimeter wave radar and visual SLAM. Background technique [0002] The SLAM (Simultaneous Localization And Mapping) technology that uses cameras or lidar as external perception sensors is called visual SLAM. In recent years, visual SLAM has been a key technology in robot positioning and navigation. [0003] Visual SLAM based on cameras and lidar has its own advantages and disadvantages. Among them, lidar can return point clouds with high-precision distance information, which has high robustness, but the cost is extremely high, and the minimum is not less than a thousand yuan, making the robot The cost remains high, which is not conducive to marketization; while using a camera as a visual sensor, the cost is relatively low, but its robustness is poor, and the requirements for ambient light are extremely high, and the map data obtained by...
