TLDR
A survival of the fittest strategy that selects the points and keyframes of the reconstruction leads to excellent robustness and generates a compact and trackable map that only grows if the scene content changes, allowing lifelong operation.
Abstract
This paper presents ORB-SLAM, a feature-based monocular SLAM system that operates in real time, in small and large, indoor and outdoor environments. The system is robust to severe motion clutter, allows wide baseline loop closing and relocalization, and includes full automatic initialization. Building on excellent algorithms of recent years, we designed from scratch a novel system that uses the same features for all SLAM tasks: tracking, mapping, relocalization, and loop closing. A survival of the fittest strategy that selects the points and keyframes of the reconstruction leads to excellent robustness and generates a compact and trackable map that only grows if the scene content changes, allowing lifelong operation. We present an exhaustive evaluation in 27 sequences from the most popular datasets. ORB-SLAM achieves unprecedented performance with respect to other state-of-the-art monocular SLAM approaches. For the benefit of the community, we make the source code public.

Online LiDAR-SLAM for Legged Robots with Robust Registration and Deep-Learned Loop Closure

TL;DR: In this article, a factor-graph LiDAR-SLAM system was developed to enable a legged robot to localize and map in industrial environments. But the system is not suitable for outdoor environments, as it can be badly lit and comprised of indistinct metallic structures.

TwinFusion: High Framerate Non-rigid Fusion through Fast Correspondence Tracking

TL;DR: This work divides the depth stream into sub-frames and fusion-frames, disabling both model accumulation (fusion) and non-rigid alignment (model tracking) on the former, and efficiently track point correspondences across neighboring sub- frames.

Urban@CRAS dataset: Benchmarking of visual odometry and SLAM techniques

TL;DR: Qualitative and quantitative performance indicators are used to discuss the advantages and particularities of each implementation of some typical methods for visual odometry and SLAM, and fosters new advances on the perception and navigation approaches of autonomous robots (and driving).

Use of Roadway Scene Semantic Information and Geometry-Preserving Landmark Pairs to Improve Visual Place Recognition in Changing Environments

TL;DR: This paper proposes a robust ConvNet landmark-based system for VPR in changing outdoor roadway environments by extension of this approach from the following two aspects: more discriminative landmarks obtained by a novel refinement method called SemLandmarks, which leverages roadway scene semantic information to screen landmarks directly detected by an existing object proposal method.

Distinctive Image Features from Scale-Invariant Keypoints

TL;DR: This paper presents a method for extracting distinctive invariant features from images that can be used to perform reliable matching between different views of an object or scene and can robustly identify objects among clutter and occlusion while achieving near real-time performance.

SURF: speeded up robust features

TL;DR: A novel scale- and rotation-invariant interest point detector and descriptor, coined SURF (Speeded Up Robust Features), which approximates or even outperforms previously proposed schemes with respect to repeatability, distinctiveness, and robustness, yet can be computed and compared much faster.

ORB: An efficient alternative to SIFT or SURF

TL;DR: This paper proposes a very fast binary descriptor based on BRIEF, called ORB, which is rotation invariant and resistant to noise, and demonstrates through experiments how ORB is at two orders of magnitude faster than SIFT, while performing as well in many situations.
