The millimeter-wave radar odometry can perform self-pose estimation and environmental mapping. However, cumulative errors can arise during extended measurement periods. In particular scenes where loop closure conditions are absent and visual geometric features are discontinuous, existing loop detection methods based on back-end optimization face challenges. To address this issue, this study introduces a correlative scan matching (CSM) pose estimation method that integrates visual and radar line features (VRL-SLAM). By making use of the pose output and the occupied grid map generated by the front end of the millimeter-wave radar\u2019s simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), it compensates for accumulated errors by matching discontinuous visual line features and radar line features. Firstly, a pose estimation framework that integrates visual and radar line features was proposed to reduce the accumulated errors generated by the odometer. Secondly, an adaptive Hough transform line detection method (A-Hough) based on the projection of the prior radar grid map was introduced, eliminating interference from non-matching lines, enhancing the accuracy of line feature matching, and establishing a collection of visual line features. Furthermore, a Gaussian mixture model clustering method based on radar cross-section (RCS) was proposed, reducing the impact of radar clutter points online feature matching. Lastly, actual data from two scenes were collected to compare the algorithm proposed in this study with the CSM algorithm and RI-SLAM.. The results demonstrated a reduction in long-term accumulated errors, verifying the effectiveness of the method.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs16010114","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,27]],"date-time":"2023-12-27T05:43:15Z","timestamp":1703655795000},"page":"114","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Correlative Scan Matching Position Estimation Method by Fusing Visual and Radar Line Features"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Yang","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Radar Monitoring Technology Laboratory, School of Information Science and Technology, North China University of Technology, Beijing 100144, China"}]},{"given":"Xiwei","family":"Cui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Radar Monitoring Technology Laboratory, School of Information Science and Technology, North China University of Technology, Beijing 100144, China"}]},{"given":"Yanping","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Radar Monitoring Technology Laboratory, School of Information Science and Technology, North China University of Technology, Beijing 100144, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7184-5057","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jinping","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronic and Information Engineering, Beihang University, Beijing 100191, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Li, Y., Wei, Y., Wang, Y., Lin, Y., Shen, W., and Jiang, W.
