英文摘要
      Point cloud registration and place recognition are critical tasks for localization in robotics and autonomous driving. There are few methods that can achieve efficient place recognition while providing accurate 6-degree-of-freedom pose. In this paper, we propose a novel multi-head network that simultaneously addresses both of these tasks. The network first extracts discriminative sparse points from the point cloud using a backbone network, and then solves the point cloud registration task in a dense point matching head and the place recognition task in a global descriptor head. In the backbone, we apply a novel 3D-RoFormer mechanism that explicitly encodes the relative pose information of points efficiently, resulting in more discriminative and robust point features and significantly improving network performance. In the dense point matching head, the network establishes reliable correspondences between sparse points and progressively finds coarse-tofine dense point correspondences to improve final pose estimation. In the global descriptor head, the network compresses the sparse point features into a global descriptor to describe the features of the current point cloud and achieves place recognition. We extensively evaluate our method on multiple datasets collected by different sensors in various environments. Experimental results show that our method depicts strong generalization ability on all the datasets, outperforming or performing comparably to the state-of-the-art methods, among which the continuous point cloud registration error is reduced by about 27%, and the closed-loop point cloud registration error is reduced by about 37%.
