A Distributed Framework for Monocular Visual SLAM
نویسندگان
چکیده
In Distributed Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM), multiple agents generate a global map of the environment while each performing its local SLAM operation. One of the main challenges is to identify overlapping maps, especially when agents do not know their relative starting positions. In this paper we are introducing a distributed framework which uses an appearance based method to identify map overlaps. Our framework generates a global semi-dense map using multiple monocular visual SLAM agents, each localizing itself in this map.

Learning Deeply Supervised Visual Descriptors for Dense Monocular Reconstruction
Visual SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) methods typically rely on handcrafted visual features or raw RGB values for establishing correspondences between images. These features, while suitable for sparse mapping, often lead to ambiguous matches at texture-less regions when performing dense reconstruction due to the aperture problem. In this work, we explore the use of learned feature...
متن کاملValidation of Data Association for Monocular SLAM
SimultaneousMapping and Localization (SLAM) is a multidisciplinary problemwith ramifications within several fields. One of the key aspects for its popularity and success is the data fusion produced by SLAM techniques, providing strong and robust sensory systems even with simple devices, such as webcams in Monocular SLAM. This work studies a novel batch validation algorithm, the highest order hy...
متن کاملImproving Localization Robustness in Monocular SLAM Using a High-Speed Camera
In the robotics community localization and mapping of an unknown environment is a well-studied problem. To solve this problem in real-time using visual input, a standard monocular Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithm can be used. This algorithm is very stable when smooth motion is expected, but in case of erratic or sudden movements, the camera pose typically gets lost. To imp...
متن کاملGSLAM: Initialization-robust Monocular Visual SLAM via Global Structure-from-Motion
Many monocular visual SLAM algorithms are derived from incremental structure-from-motion (SfM) methods. This work proposes a novel monocular SLAM method which integrates recent advances made in global SfM. In particular, we present two main contributions to visual SLAM. First, we solve the visual odometry problem by a novel rank1 matrix factorization technique which is more robust to the errors...
متن کاملConstructing Category-Specific Models for Monocular Object-SLAM
We present a new paradigm for real-time objectoriented SLAM with a monocular camera. Contrary to previous approaches, that rely on object-level models, we construct category-level models from CAD collections which are now widely available. To alleviate the need for huge amounts of labeled data, we develop a rendering pipeline that enables synthesis of large datasets from a limited amount of man...
