The application provides a simultaneous localization and mapping method for underwater pipeline detection, and belongs to the technical field of underwater robot navigation and positioning; aiming at the problems of limited light, strong echo interference and high structure repeatability in the seawater pipeline environment, a tightly coupled pose estimation framework based on factor graph optimization is proposed by fusing a two-dimensional imaging sonar, a Doppler velocity log (DVL) and an inertial measurement unit (IMU). Through joint constraint and optimization of multi-source sensing information, the method can realize high-precision positioning and continuous mapping of the ROV in an environment with extremely low visibility and complex pipeline structure, effectively improving the autonomy and data reliability of the underwater inspection process. The method has clear structure, simple implementation and high calculation efficiency, can stably run on a conventional ROS platform, and is suitable for various types of underwater pipeline detection and inspection tasks.
