事件相机在运动中倾向于检测物体边界或纹理边缘，产生亮度变化的线条。虽然线条可以作为一种稳健的中间表示，但其稀疏特性可能导致在小的估计误差下出现严重退化。本文提出了一种方法，通过观察事件的多个时间切片，稳定地提取不同外观的线条轨迹，并提出几何代价函数来精炼3D线图和相机姿态，消除投影失真和深度模糊。实验结果表明，该方法在事件基础的映射和姿态精炼中显著提升性能，并可灵活应用于多模态场景。

📄 摘要（原文）
Event cameras in motion tend to detect object boundaries or texture edges, which produce lines of brightness changes, especially in man-made environments. While lines can constitute a robust intermediate representation that is consistently observed, the sparse nature of lines may lead to drastic deterioration with minor estimation errors. Only a few previous works, often accompanied by additional sensors, utilize lines to compensate for the severe domain discrepancies of event sensors along with unpredictable noise characteristics. We propose a method that can stably extract tracks of varying appearances of lines using a clever algorithmic process that observes multiple representations from various time slices of events, compensating for potential adversaries within the event data. We then propose geometric cost functions that can refine the 3D line maps and camera poses, eliminating projective distortions and depth ambiguities. The 3D line maps are highly compact and can be equipped with our proposed cost function, which can be adapted for any observations that can detect and extract line structures or projections of them, including 3D point cloud maps or image observations. We demonstrate that our formulation is powerful enough to exhibit a significant performance boost in event-based mapping and pose refinement across diverse datasets, and can be flexibly applied to multimodal scenarios. Our results confirm that the proposed line-based formulation is a robust and effective approach for the practical deployment of event-based perceptual modules.
