Multi-Robot Collaborative Mapping with Integrated Point-Line Features for Visual SLAM.

Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) enables mobile robots to autonomously perform localization and mapping tasks in unknown environments. Despite significant progress achieved by visual SLAM systems in ideal conditions, relying solely on a single robot and point features for mapping in large-scale indoor environments with weak-texture structures can affect mapping efficiency and accuracy. Therefore, this paper proposes a multi-robot collaborative mapping method based on point-line fusion to address this issue.

SLAM Back-End Optimization Algorithm Based on Vision Fusion IPS.

SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) is mainly composed of five parts: sensor data reading, front-end visual odometry, back-end optimization, loopback detection, and map building. And when visual SLAM is estimated by visual odometry only, cumulative drift will inevitably occur. Loopback detection is used in classical visual SLAM, and if loopback is not detected during operation, it is not possible to correct the positional trajectory using loopback.
