Original Loop-Closure Detection Algorithm for Monocular vSLAM
نویسندگان
چکیده
Vision-based simultaneous localization and mapping (vSLAM) is a well-established problem in mobile robotics and monocular vSLAM is one of the most challenging variations of that problem nowadays. In this work we study one of the core post-processing optimization mechanisms in vSLAM, e.g. loop-closure detection. We analyze the existing methods and propose original algorithm for loop-closure detection, which is suitable for dense, semi-dense and feature-based vSLAM methods. We evaluate the algorithm experimentally and show that it contribute to more accurate mapping while speeding up the monocular vSLAM pipeline to the extent the latter can be used in real-time for controlling small multirotor vehicle (drone).

Combining Odometry and Visual Loop-Closure Detection for Consistent Topo-Metrical Mapping
We address the problem of simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) by combining visual loop-closure detection with metrical information given by a robot odometry. The proposed algorithm extends a purely appearance-based loopclosure detection method based on bags of visual words [1] which is able to detect when the robot has returned back to a previously visited place. An efficient optimizat...
متن کاملWeAM 1 : Road - Marking Based Loop Closure Using a Monocular Camera
s: In this paper, we propose an algorithm that leverages road markings obtained from monocular camera images to estimate accurate vehicle position. Our method generates sub-maps containing only road markings that increase the confidence of the matching to improve the accuracy of the loop detection. The cumulative error is compensated by the detected loop, thereby increasing the overall global a...

Title : Visual SLAM applications of loop-closure detection Loop-closure detection is crucial for enhancing the robustness of SLAM algorithms in general. For example, after a long travel in unknown terrain, detecting when the robot has returned to a past location makes it possible to increase the accuracy and the consistency of the estimation. Recognizing previously mapped locations can also be ...
متن کاملA 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....
متن کاملSelf-Calibration and Visual SLAM with a Multi-Camera System on a Micro Aerial Vehicle
The use of a multi-camera system enables a robot to obtain a surround view, and thus, maximize its perceptual awareness of its environment. An accurate calibration is a necessary prerequisite if vision-based simultaneous localization and mapping (vSLAM) is expected to provide reliable pose estimates for a micro aerial vehicle (MAV) with a multi-camera system. On our MAV, we set up each camera p...
