S3LAM: Surfel Splatting SLAM for Geometrically Accurate Tracking and Mapping
We propose S3LAM, a novel RGB-D SLAM system that leverages 2D surfel splatting to achieve geometrically accurate scene representations for simultaneous tracking and mapping. Unlike existing 3DGS-based SLAM approaches that rely on 3D Gaussian ellipsoids, we utilize 2D Gaussian surfels as primitives f…
