Many existing visual SLAM methods can achieve high localization accuracy in dynamic environments by leveraging deep learning to mask moving objects. However, these methods incur significant computational overhead as the camera tracking needs to wait for the deep neural network to generate mask at ea
We propose SLAMFuse, an open-source SLAM benchmarking framework that provides consistent cross-platform environments for evaluating multi-modal SLAM algorithms, along with tools for data fuzzing, failure detection, and diagnosis across different datasets. Our framework introduces a fuzzing mechanism
ACEFusion is the first 3D reconstruction system able to capture the geometry and semantics of dynamic scenes using an RGB-D camera in real-time on a robotic computing platform. Harnessing the hardware accelerators of an Nvidia Jetson AGX Xavier, the system uses heterogeneous computing to achieve 30…
Progress in the last decade has brought about significant improvements in the accuracy and speed of SLAM systems, broadening their mapping capabilities. Despite these advancements, long-term operation remains a major challenge, primarily due to the wide spectrum of perturbations robotic systems may…
As the SLAM research area matures and the number of SLAM systems available increases, the need for frameworks that can objectively evaluate them against prior work grows. This new version of SLAMBench moves beyond traditional visual SLAM, and provides new support for scene understanding and non-rigi…
Real-time dense computer vision and SLAM offer great potential for a new level of scene modelling, tracking and real environmental interaction for many types of robot, but their high computational requirements mean that use on mass market embedded platforms is challenging. Meanwhile, trends in low-c…
