TSDF2D Support - Implementation Plan
Status: ✅ IMPLEMENTATION COMPLETED - All phases implemented with comprehensive unit tests
📋 Tổng Quan
TSDF (Truncated Signed Distance Function) 2D là một loại grid khác ngoài ProbabilityGrid cho 2D SLAM. TSDF lưu trữ:
- TSD (Truncated Signed Distance): Khoảng cách có dấu tới bề mặt, được truncate trong phạm vi
[-truncation_distance, truncation_distance] - Weight: Trọng số của measurement, sử dụng để tích hợp nhiều measurements
Ưu điểm của TSDF so với ProbabilityGrid:
- Hỗ trợ subpixel accuracy tốt hơn
- Xử lý uncertainty tốt hơn với weighted integration
- Có thể extract surface với độ chính xác cao hơn

📝 Chi Tiết Implementation
Phase 1: Core Utilities
1.1 TSDValueConverter
File: Mapping/Internal/2D/TSDValueConverter.cs
Purpose: Convert giữa TSD/Weight values và ushort values để lưu trữ hiệu quả trong grid.
Methods cần implement:
public class TSDValueConverter
{
public TSDValueConverter(float maxTSD, float maxWeight, ValueConversionTables conversionTables);
// TSD conversion
public ushort TSDToValue(float tsd);
public float ValueToTSD(ushort value);
public float GetMinTSD();
public float GetMaxTSD();
public ushort GetUnknownTSDValue();
public ushort GetUpdateMarker();
// Weight conversion
public ushort WeightToValue(float weight);
public float ValueToWeight(ushort value);
public float GetMinWeight();
public float GetMaxWeight();
public ushort GetUnknownWeightValue();
}
Key Implementation Details:
- TSD được lưu trong
correspondence_cost_cellsnhư ProbabilityGrid - Highest bit (bit 15) của TSD value là update marker
- Weight được lưu trong separate
weight_cellsarray - Sử dụng lookup tables từ
ValueConversionTablesđể convert hiệu quả
C++ Reference: refs/cartographer/cartographer/mapping/internal/2d/tsd_value_converter.h/cc
1.2 NormalEstimation2D
File: Mapping/Internal/2D/NormalEstimation2D.cs
Purpose: Estimate surface normals từ range data để tính toán SDF distance accurately.
Methods cần implement:
public static class NormalEstimation2D
{
// Estimate normals for sorted range data
public static List<float> EstimateNormals(
RangeData sortedRangeData,
NormalEstimationOptions2D options);
// Helper: Get normal angle at index
private static float GetNormalAngle(int index, ...);
}
Key Implementation Details:
- Range data phải được sort theo angle từ origin (sử dụng
RangeDataSorter) - Normal được estimate từ các points lân cận (trong
sample_radius) - Normal được trả về dưới dạng angle (radians) cho mỗi hit point
- Sử dụng
num_normal_samplesđể average normals

minCorrespondenceCost = -truncationDistance,maxCorrespondenceCost = truncationDistance SetCell:- Check update marker trước khi update
- Set update marker (bit 15) vào TSD value
- Store TSD trong
_correspondenceCostCells - Store weight trong

RangeDataSorter) - Estimate normals if needed (
project_sdf_distance_to_scan_normalor angle-based weight) - For each hit:

- Compute SDF distance:
-
UpdateCell method:
- Get current TSD and weight:

C++ Reference: refs/cartographer/cartographer/mapping/internal/2d/tsdf_range_data_inserter_2d.h/cc
Phase 4: Scan Matching Support
4.1 InterpolatedTSDF2D
File: Mapping/Internal/2D/ScanMatching/InterpolatedTSDF2D.cs
Purpose: Bilinear interpolation của TSDF values cho Ceres autodiff.
Methods:
public class InterpolatedTSDF2D
{
private readonly TSDF2D _tsdf;
public InterpolatedTSDF2D(TSDF2D tsdf);
// Template method for Ceres autodiff
public T GetCorrespondenceCost<T>(T x, T y) where T : struct
{
// Bilinear interpolation of TSD values
// Returns MaxCorrespondenceCost if any interpolation point is unknown (weight == 0)
}
public T GetWeight<T>(T x, T y) where T : struct
{
// Bilinear interpolation of weight values
}
private Vector2 CenterOfLowerPixel(double x, double y);
private T InterpolateBilinear<T>(T x, T y, float x1, float y1, float x2, float y2,
float q11, float q12, float q21, float q22);
}
Key Implementation Details:
- Get 4 neighboring cells:
(x1,y1),(x1+1,y1),(x1,y1+1),(x1+1,y1+1) - Check weights: If any weight == 0, return
MaxCorrespondenceCost - Interpolate TSD values using bilinear interpolation
- Works with Ceres Jet types (automatic differentiation)
C++ Reference: refs/cartographer/cartographer/mapping/internal/2d/scan_matching/interpolated_tsdf_2d.h

public static CostFunction CreateAutoDiffCostFunction(
double scalingFactor,
PointCloud pointCloud,
TSDF2D grid)
{
// Create InterpolatedTSDF2D
// Return AutoDiffCostFunction with TSDFMatchCostFunctor2D
}
}
private struct TSDFMatchCostFunctor2D
{
private readonly double _scalingFactor;
private readonly PointCloud _pointCloud;
private readonly InterpolatedTSDF2D _interpolatedTSDF;
public void Evaluate(double[] parameters, double[] residuals, double[][] jacobians)
{
// parameters: [x, y, cos_theta, sin_theta]
// Transform each point in pointCloud by pose
// For each transformed point:
// residual = scaling_factor * interpolatedTSDF.GetCorrespondenceCost(x, y)
// residuals length = pointCloud.Count
}
}
Key Implementation Details:
- Transform point cloud by pose:
R * point + translation - Get interpolated correspondence cost for each transformed point
- Residual =
scaling_factor * correspondence_cost - Ceres sẽ minimize tổng squared residuals
C++ Reference: refs/cartographer/cartographer/mapping/internal/2d/scan_matching/tsdf_match_cost_function_2d.h/cc
4.3 Update Scan Matchers
4.3.1 RealTimeCorrelativeScanMatcher2D
File: Mapping/Internal/2D/ScanMatching/RealTimeCorrelativeScanMatcher2D.cs
Changes needed:
- Line 125: Implement TSDF scoring
case GridType.TSDF:
if (grid is TSDF2D tsdfGrid)
{
foreach (var point in discreteScan)
{
var tsd = tsdfGrid.GetTSD(proposedXYIndex);
// Score based on distance from zero-crossing (surface)
// Cells with TSD near 0 are likely to be on surface
candidateScore += -Math.Abs(tsd); // Closer to 0 = better
}
candidateScore /= discreteScan.Count;
}
break;
Note: TSDF scoring có thể đơn giản hơn ProbabilityGrid vì TSD gần 0 = surface.

File: Mapping/Internal/2D/ScanMatching/CeresScanMatcher2D.cs
Changes needed:
- Line 112-114: Replace TODO với TSDF cost function
case GridType.TSDF:

{
var tsdfMatchCost = TSDFMatchCostFunction2D.CreateAutoDiffCostFunction(
_options.OccupiedSpaceWeight / Math.Sqrt(pointCloud.Count),
pointCloud,
tsdfGrid
);
problem.AddResidualBlock(tsdfMatchCost, null, [poseParams]);
}
break;
Phase 5: Integration

[JsonPropertyName("tsdf_range_data_inserter_options_2d")]
[JsonIgnore(Condition = JsonIgnoreCondition.WhenWritingNull)]
public TSDFRangeDataInserterOptions2D? TsdfRangeDataInserterOptions2D { get; set; }
- Update constructor to accept TSDF options
5.2 Update ActiveSubmaps2D
File: Mapping/2D/ActiveSubmaps2D.cs

NotImplementedExceptionvới TSDF2D creation
GridOptions2D.GridType.Tsdf => new TSDF2D(
mapLimits,
_options.GridOptions2D.TsdfOptions?.TruncationDistance ?? 0.3f, // Default
_options.GridOptions2D.TsdfOptions?.MaxWeight ?? 10.0f, // Default
_conversionTables
),
Note: Cần add TsdfOptions vào GridOptions2D proto nếu chưa có.
5.3 Update RangeDataInserterFactory
File: (tìm file tạo RangeDataInserter, có thể trong Mapping/2D/ hoặc Mapping/Internal/2D/)
Changes needed:
- Add TSDF inserter creation:
case RangeDataInserterOptions.RangeDataInserterType.TsdfInserter2D:
if (options.TsdfRangeDataInserterOptions2D.HasValue)
{
return new TSDFRangeDataInserter2D(options.TsdfRangeDataInserterOptions2D.Value);
}
throw new ArgumentException("TSDFRangeDataInserterOptions2D is required for TSDF inserter");

⚠️ Notes & Considerations
-
Performance:
- TSDF computation phức tạp hơn ProbabilityGrid (normal estimation, weighted integration)
- Consider caching normal estimates nếu cần
- Weight calculation có thể tốn kém (Gaussian kernels)
-
Memory:
- TSDF2D cần thêm
weight_cellsarray (same size as correspondence_cost_cells) - Memory usage ~2x so với ProbabilityGrid
- TSDF2D cần thêm
-
Accuracy:
- TSDF thường cho accuracy cao hơn, đặc biệt với subpixel features
- Normal estimation quality ảnh hưởng lớn đến SDF accuracy
-
Configuration:
truncation_distance: Thường 0.1-0.5mmaximum_weight: Thường 10-50update_weight_range_exponent: Thường 0-2- Kernel bandwidths: Cần tune cho từng sensor
-
Compatibility:
- Ensure TSDF grids có thể serialize/deserialize correctly
- Backward compatibility với ProbabilityGrid configs
