The invention relates to the technical field of
robot positioning and map construction, and particularly discloses a self-adaptive
LiDAR-IMU SLAM method fusing intensity features and Riemannian manifold ground constraints, and the
LiDAR-IMU SLAM method comprises the following steps: a, original measurement; b, data preprocessing; c,
feature extraction; d, carrying out ground manifold constraint; e, optimizing the
factor graph; and f, outputting data. The method can solve the problems that in the prior art, matching fails in a low-texture environment due to dependence on geometric features, positioning drifting is caused by
point cloud distortion and inertial accumulative errors, and Z-axis errors are continuously expanded due to lack of dynamic
adaptation to complex terrains. Experimental results show that according to the self-adaptive
LiDAR-IMU SLAM method, the Z-axis
drift error is remarkably reduced by 67.78%, the minimum absolute
pose error is 0.254 m, the environment sensing and mapping capacity of the
mobile robot in the complex
underground space is remarkably improved, and reliable
technical support is provided for intelligent inspection and infrastructure monitoring of the
underground space.
