A weight estimation module, composed of a feature extraction layer capable of processing multimodal sensor data and a decision network with temporal learning capabilities, is designed to predict adaptive factor weights. Considering the non-differentiable nature of factor graph optimization, a reinforcement learning-based training method is proposed to enable the network to learn an effective weight prediction policy.

摘要

This paper proposes a SLAM localization method based on deep reinforcement learning for adaptive covariance matrix estimation in factor graphs, to address the challenge of environment-aware covariance adjustment in pose factor graphs for multi-sensor fusion localization involving vision, LiDAR, and IMU. A pose factor graph fusion module utilizes real-time covariance estimation results to fuse pose estimates from two odometry sources using a sliding window approach. A weight estimation module, composed of a feature extraction layer capable of processing multimodal sensor data and a decision network with temporal learning capabilities, is designed to predict adaptive factor weights. Considering the non-differentiable nature of factor graph optimization, a reinforcement learning-based training method is proposed to enable the network to learn an effective weight prediction policy. Compared to fixed-covariance methods, the proposed approach improves RMSE by 10% on training and 3% on testing sequences of the KITTI dataset.
