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.read more

Ego-Motion Estimation of a Quadrotor Based on Nonlinear Observer
TL;DR: A nonlinear observer is proposed to simultaneously estimate the depth of the point features and the translational velocity of the quadrotor using visual feedback from an on-board monocular camera, and the stability of the observer is proved by means of Lyapunov analysis.

FDMO: Feature Assisted Direct Monocular Odometry.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed FDMO (Feature assisted Direct Monocular Odometry), which combines the advantages of both direct and feature-based techniques. But, the FDMO system is not robust to failure in feature-deprived environments.

An Accurate Localization Scheme for Mobile Robots Using Optical Flow in Dynamic Environments
TL;DR: A novel method that uses optical flow to distinguish and eliminate dynamic feature points from extracted ones by using the RGB images as the only input and significantly improves the performance of the Visual SLAM in dynamic scenarios is proposed.

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.
