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.

GMMLoc: Structure Consistent Visual Localization With Gaussian Mixture Models

TL;DR: In this article, a cross-modality method that tracks a camera in a prior map modelled by the Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) is presented, with the pose estimated by the front-end initially, and the visual structure from the triangulation is refined simultaneously.

Adversarial Networks for Camera Pose Regression and Refinement

TL;DR: In this article, the joint distribution of RGB images and their corresponding camera poses using a discriminator network and adversarial learning is learned to optimize the predicted camera poses and thus improve the localization accuracy.

Tightly-Coupled Single-Anchor Ultra-wideband-Aided Monocular Visual Odometry System

TL;DR: This work proposes a tightly-coupled odometry framework, which combines monocular visual feature observations with distance measurements provided by a single ultra-wideband (UWB) anchor with an initial guess for its location to reduce the visual drift and improve the system robustness.

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.
