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.

Look No Deeper: Recognizing Places from Opposing Viewpoints under Varying Scene Appearance using Single-View Depth Estimation

TL;DR: In this paper, a new depth and temporal-aware visual place recognition system was proposed to solve the opposing viewpoint, extreme appearance-change visualplace recognition problem. But it is not a panoramic system.

Area-Time Efficient Streaming Architecture for FAST and BRIEF Detector

TL;DR: Since the window buffer used in existing designs for computing the BRIEF point-pairs are often poorly utilized, this work proposes an efficient sampling scheme that exploits register reuse to minimize the number of registers.

Texture-Aware SLAM Using Stereo Imagery and Inertial Information

TL;DR: A gaze control method that augments an existing stereo and inertial Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) system by directing the stereo camera towards feature-rich regions of the scene by controlling a pan-tilt unit that directs the camera to focus on high-reward texture classes.

A new fault diagnosis method for planetary gear based on image feature extraction and bag-of-words model

TL;DR: The FAST-Unoriented-SIFT feature extraction algorithm is proposed, which combines the advantages of FAST and SIFT algorithms, and ignores the orientations of features.

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.
