چکیده

We present a unified method for recovering from tracking failure and closing loops in real time monocular simultaneous localisation and mapping. Within a graph-based map representation, we show that recovery and loop closing both reduce to the creation of a graph edge. We describe and implement a bag-of-words appearance model for ranking potential loop closures, and a robust method for using both structure and image appearance to confirm likely matches. The resulting system closes loops and recovers from failures while mapping thousands of landmarks, all in real time.

Mapping Large Loops with a Single Hand-Held Camera

This paper presents a method for Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM), relying on a monocular camera as the only sensor, which is able to build outdoor, closed-loop maps much larger than previously achieved with such input. Our system, based on the Hierarchical Map approach [1], builds independent local maps in real-time using the EKF-SLAM technique and the inverse depth representation ...

A comparison of loop closing techniques in monocular SLAM

Loop closure detection systems for monocular SLAM come in three broad categories: (i) map-to-map, (ii) image-to-image and (iii) image-to-map. In this paper, we have chosen an implementation of each and performed experiments allowing the three approaches to be compared. The sequences used include both indoor and outdoor environments and single and multiple loop trajectories. © 2009 Elsevier B.V....

A REAL-TIME ROBUST SLAM for LARGE-SCALE OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENTS

The problem of simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) is still a challenging issue in large-scale unstructured dynamic environments. In this paper, we introduce a real-time reliable SLAM solution with the capability of closing the loop using exclusive laser data. In our algorithm, a universal motion model is presented for initial pose estimation. To further refine robot pose, we propose a...

Fast Active SLAM for Accurate and Complete Coverage Mapping of Unknown Environments

In this paper we present an active SLAM solution with an active loop closing component which is independent on exploration component and at the same time allows high accuracy robot’s pose estimation and complete environment mapping. Inputs to our SLAM algorithm are RGBD image from the Kinect sensor and odometry estimates obtained from inertial measurement unit and wheel encoders. SLAM is based ...

Unified Inverse Depth Parametrization for Monocular SLAM

Recent work has shown that the probabilistic SLAM approach of explicit uncertainty propagation can succeed in permitting repeatable 3D real-time localization and mapping even in the ‘pure vision’ domain of a single agile camera with no extra sensing. An issue which has caused difficulty in monocular SLAM however is the initialization of features, since information from multiple images acquired ...
