2. 内存更新
2.1 创建签名
代码在 Memory::createSignature
中,其主要过程为
- 词典更新(
VWDictionary::update
) 线程- 构建FLANN索引
- 根据描述子构建KDTree索引词典 (
_flannIndex->buildKDTreeIndex
,kNNFlannKdTree
) - KDTree的创建基于分层k-mean聚类
- 根据描述子构建KDTree索引词典 (
- 更新
_dataTree
- 构建FLANN索引
- 角点(GFTT)检测(
Feature2D::generateKeypoints
)- 均匀分布(
gridRows_, gridCols_
) - 限制点数(
maxFeatures_
) - 亚像素提取(
cv::cornerSubPix
)
- 均匀分布(
- 描述子(BRIEF)计算(
Feature2D::generateDescriptors
) - quantize descriptors to vocabulary(
VWDictionary::addNewWords
)- 描述子匹配(descriptors -- dataTree),并计算距离
- 添加单词 或 参考+1
- badDist=true(匹配数量特别少,或 NNDR(neareast neighbor distance ratio) 大于 \(T_{\text{NNDR}}\) 阈值
_nndrRatio
),然后创建VisualWord
并添加到_visualWords
\[ \text{NNDR} = \frac{\text{dist of the neareast neighbor}}{\text{dist of the second-neareast neighbor}} \]
- badDist=false,
VWDictionary::addWordRef
,_references
+1
- badDist=true(匹配数量特别少,或 NNDR(neareast neighbor distance ratio) 大于 \(T_{\text{NNDR}}\) 阈值
- 创建签名(
new Signature
)
2.2 添加签名到STM
代码主要在 Memory::addSignatureToStm
中。
- 更新neighbors,添加链接(
signature->addLink
) - 添加签名ID到
_stMem
2.3 更新权重
代码主要在 Memory::rehearsal
中。
signature
与STM中最新的签名比较,计算相似度RehearsalSimilarity(float sim = signature->compareTo(*sB)
)
\[ \text{similarity} = \frac{\text{pairs}}{\text{totalWords}} \]
- 相似度 > 阈值
_similarityThreshold
,假设合并(Memory::rehearsalMerge
),更新权重- 更新权重(
signature->setWeight
)
\[ w_A = w_A + w_B + 1 \]
- 新旧签名合并(
Memory::rehearsalMerge
)- 新签名添加Link
- 删除旧签名(
moveToTrash
)
- 更新权重(
2.4 签名转移 (STM->WM)
Transfer the oldest signature of the short-term memory to the working memory
_maxStMemSize
= 10Memory::moveSignatureToWMFromSTM
:_workingMem.insert
和_stMem.erase
3. 贝叶斯滤波器更新
计算似然(
Memory::computeLikelihood
),得到rawLikelihood
- 算法一:tf-idf (term frequency–inverse document frequency)
\[ \text{tf-idf} = \frac{n_{wi} + \log \frac{N}{n_w}}{n_i} \]
- 算法二:相似度 RehearsalSimilarity
- 调整似然(
Rtabmap::adjustLikelihood
) \(s_j\),得到likelihood
- 依据 似然均值 \(\mu\) 和 似然标准差 \(\sigma\)
\[ \text{likelihood} = \begin{cases} \frac{s_j - \sigma}{\mu}, \quad \text{if} \ s_j \geq \mu + \sigma \\ 1, \quad\quad\quad \text{otherwise}. \end{cases} \]
- 计算后验(
BayesFilter::computePosterior
),得到posterior
- 预测(Prediction : Prior*lastPosterior)得到
_prediction
- 更新后验(
BayesFilter::updatePosterior
) - 计算先验(
prior = _prediction * posterior
) - 计算后验
- 后验归一化
- 预测(Prediction : Prior*lastPosterior)得到
\[ \text{posterior} = \text{likelihood} \times \text{prior} \]
4. 回环假设选择
Select the highest hypothesis
- 根据后验
posterior
选择最高的假设_highestHypothesis
- 接受回环,条件如下:
_highestHypothesis
>_loopThr
- 对极几何 检查(
_epipolarGeometry->check
)- 单词匹配对数量(
EpipolarGeometry::findPairsUnique
) >_matchCountMinAccepted
- 对极约束内点数(
EpipolarGeometry::findFFromWords
) >_matchCountMinAccepted
(RANSAC方法计算基础矩阵)
- 单词匹配对数量(
5. 取回 Retrieval (LTM->WM)
对于形成回环概率最高的定位点,将他那些没有在WM中的邻接定位点,从LTM中取回放入到WM中。
- Loop closure neighbors reactivation
- time
- space
- Update planned path and get next nodes to retrieve
- Load signatures from the database (LTM->WM)
6. 转移 Transfer (STM->LTM)
If time allowed for the detection exceeds the limit of real-time, move the oldest signature with less frequency entry (from X oldest) from the short term memory to the long term memory.
具有最低权重的定位点中,存储时间最长的将被转移到LTM(数据库SQLite)中。
