Abstract
Current lidar-inertial SLAM algorithms mainly rely on the geometric features of the lidar for point cloud alignment. The issue of incorrect feature association arises because the matching process is susceptible to influences such as dynamic objects, occlusion, and environmental changes. To address this issue, we present a lidar-inertial SLAM system based on the LIO-SAM framework, combining semantic and geometric constraints for association optimization and keyframe selection. Specifically, we mitigate the impact of erroneous matching points on pose estimation by comparing the consistency of normal vectors in the surrounding region. Additionally, we incorporate semantic information to establish semantic constraints, further enhancing matching accuracy. Furthermore, we propose an adaptive selection strategy based on semantic differences between frames to improve the reliability of keyframe generation. Experimental results on the KITTI dataset indicate that, compared to other systems, the accuracy of the pose estimation has significantly improved.
