Neural implicit representations have gained attention due to their expressive, continuous, and compact properties. However, there is still a lack of research on city-scale continual implicit dense mapping based on sparse LiDAR input. In this study, a city-scale continual neural mapping system with a panoptic representation is developed, incorporating environment-level and instance-level modeling. A tailored three-layer sampling strategy and category-specific prior are proposed to address the challenges of representing geometric information in city-scale space and achieving high fidelity mapping of instances under incomplete observation.
Neural implicit representations are drawing much attention from the robotics community recently, as they are expressive, continuous and compact. However, city-scale continual implicit dense mapping based on sparse LiDAR input is still an under-explored challenge. To this end, we successfully build a city-scale continual neural mapping system with a panoptic representation that consists of environment-level and instance-level modeling. Given a stream of sparse LiDAR point cloud, it maintains a model that maps 3D coordinates to signed distance field (SDF) values. To address the difficulty of representing geometric information at different levels in city-scale space, we propose a tailored three-layer sampling strategy to sample the global, local and near-surface domains dynamically. Meanwhile, to realize high fidelity mapping of instance under incomplete observation, category-specific prior is introduced to better model the geometric details. We evaluate on the public SemanticKITTI [1] dataset and demonstrate the significance of the newly proposed three-layer sampling strategy and panoptic representation, using both quantitative and qualitative results. Codes and model will be publicly available.
