Constrained RGBD-SLAM
Résumé
SUMMARY This paper introduces a new RGBD-Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (RGBD-SLAM) based on a revisited keyframe SLAM. This solution improves the localization by combining visual and depth data in a local bundle adjustment. Then, it presents an extension of this RGBD-SLAM that takes advantage of a partial knowledge of the scene. This solution allows using a prior knowledge of the 3D model of the environment when this latter is available which drastically improves the localization accuracy. The proposed solutions called RGBD-SLAM and Constrained RGBD-SLAM are evaluated on several public benchmark datasets and on real scenes acquired by a Kinect sensor. The system works in real time on a standard central processing units and it can be useful for certain applications, such as localization of lightweight robots, UAVs, and VR helmet.
