A laser SLAM algorithm or a VSLAM algorithm is a commonly used approach of creating a map for an indoor environment of a large area. In this approach, an accumulative error may be made. The accumulative error may cause a serious deformation of the created indoor map relative to a true map, and particularly in a complex environment, the created indoor map may be seriously deformed and is unlikely to be corrected even if being optimized through an existing algorithm. Consequently, the finally created map cannot be used for subsequent navigation or locating.
The embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below in combination with the accompanying drawings in detail. Characteristics in the following embodiments and implementation modes may be combined without conflicts.

As shown in
According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, a user can start creating an indoor environment map at any indoor location with a mobile phone capable of executing the VSLAM algorithm.

In the embodiment, when the scale between the indoor architectural structure drawing and the real indoor environment is 1:1, the present pose of the mobile phone in the indoor environment is the location of the mobile phone in the indoor architectural structure drawing.
In the operation S104, the distance to the obstacle in the indoor architectural structure drawing is acquired according to the second pose, the indoor architectural structure drawing and the ray casting algorithm.
According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the distance from the mobile phone to the surrounding obstacle in the indoor architectural structure drawing is calculated through the ray casting algorithm according to the corresponding present pose of the mobile phone in the indoor architectural structure drawing and the obstacle-free region boundary information, obstacle region boundary information and geometric scale information of the indoor architectural structure drawing.
In the operation S105, the third pose of the mobile phone in the indoor environment is acquired according to the distance, the first feature point location, the locating error, the first pose and the filtering algorithm.
According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the optimized present pose of the mobile phone in the indoor environment is calculated through the filtering algorithm according to the distance from the mobile phone to the surrounding obstacle in the indoor architectural structure drawing, the feature point location in the indoor environment image, the locating error of the mobile phone in the indoor environment and the present pose of the mobile phone in the indoor environment.
In the embodiment, combination of the known indoor architectural structure drawing with the VSLAM algorithm is implemented through the filtering algorithm.
In the embodiment, the filtering algorithm includes at least one of a Kalman filtering algorithm, an extended Kalman filtering algorithm, or a particle filtering algorithm. For example, the filtering algorithm can be the particle filtering algorithm, and thus the distance, the feature point location, the locating error and the present pose are used as input of the particle filtering algorithm, and output is the filtered-optimized present pose of the mobile phone.
In the operation S106, the second feature point location in the indoor environment image is acquired according to the third pose and the VSLAM algorithm.
According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the optimized location of the feature point of the indoor environment image is calculated through the VSLAM algorithm according to the optimized present pose of the mobile phone in the indoor environment. As described in the operation S102, when the monocular VSLAM algorithm is used, the feature point of the indoor environment image can be extracted, and the feature point is triangulated to calculate the location of the feature point in the indoor environment image.

In the embodiment, the key frame set can be a set formed by at least one key frame selected through the VSLAM algorithm.
According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to
In the embodiment, the key frame set can be a set formed by the at least one key frame selected through the VSLAM algorithm, and a key frame can be added to the key frame set, the added key frame being different from the at least one key frame selected through the VSLAM algorithm. In addition, adding an important key frame (for example, a key frame involved in a complex environment such as making a turn and the like) can further ensure robustness when the map is subsequently adopted for navigation and locating. The method can further include that a key frame in the key frame set is deleted, for example, an inaccurate or useless key frame can be removed. Addition or deletion of a key frame can be manually carried out or automatically implemented through a key frame selection algorithm.
In addition, in the present disclosure, after the operation S107, the method can further include that: whether the user goes through all obstacle-free regions with the mobile phone or not is determined according to the known indoor architectural structure drawing. In a case that the user has gone through all the obstacle-free regions, it is indicated that creation of the indoor environment map has been completed; while in a case that the user has not yet gone through all the obstacle-free regions, S102 is re-executed to restart. Determining whether the user goes through all the obstacle-free regions or not can be implemented by the user according to the indoor architectural structure drawing or automatically implemented by executing, through the mobile phone, a known automatic recognition algorithm according to the indoor architectural structure drawing.

Similarly, while operations are depicted in the drawings in a particular order, this should not be understood as requiring that such operations be performed in the particular order shown or in sequential order, or that all illustrated operations be performed, to achieve desirable results. In certain circumstances, multitasking and parallel processing can be advantageous. Moreover, the separation of various system components in the implementations described above should not be understood as requiring such separation in all implementations, and it should be understood that the described program components and systems can generally be integrated together in a single software product or packaged into multiple software products.
As such, particular implementations of the subject matter have been described. Other implementations are within the scope of the following claims. In some cases, the actions recited in the claims can be performed in a different order and still achieve desirable results. In addition, the processes depicted in the accompanying figures do not necessarily require the particular order shown, or sequential order, to achieve desirable results. In certain implementations, multitasking or parallel processing can be utilized.
It is intended that the specification and embodiments be considered as examples only. Some other embodiments of the present disclosure can be available to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the specification and practice of the various embodiments disclosed herein. The present application is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the present disclosure following general principles of the present disclosure and include the common general knowledge or conventional technical means in the art without departing from the present disclosure. The specification and examples can be shown as illustrative only, and the true scope and spirit of the disclosure are indicated by the following claims.
