LER (SEV) System Overview • Hokuyo UTM-30LX Lidar • 45 Hz scan rate • 180° range, • 0.25° angular resolution • SICK LMS 291 Lidar • 70 Hz scan rate • 180° range, • 0.25° angular resolution
Problem Statement Point clouds from different lidars not well aligned using best estimates (digital level)
Problem Statement Optimize Point at time t in lidar fram Pos at time t Laser pose WRT Robot
Surface Registration ICP: point To point matching Finding the rotation, translation between two point clouds by solving the orientation problem using Horn's quaternion-based method. Result : Reason -> No point to point correspondences.
* * * * * * * ∆t * * * * * * * Terrain Problem The Terrains are different. • Time difference • Pose estimator error
Surface Registration Used Nelder Mead method to minimize the Mahalanobis distance betweenthe corresponding points Where is the mean vector and ∑ is the covariance matrix of closets point to x in
Multiple Lidar Calibration Calibrate lidar’s wrt primary: reference lidar point set (global coords) adjusted lidar points (wrt rover) at time t Pose at time t calibration correction
No calibration target required But need some vertical relief.
