AbstractIn recent years, simultaneous localization and mapping in dynamic environments (dynamic SLAM) has attracted significant attention from both academia and industry. Some pioneering work on this technique has expanded the potential of robotic applications. Compared to standard SLAM under the static world assumption, dynamic SLAM divides features into static and dynamic categories and leverages each type of feature properly. Therefore, dynamic SLAM can provide more robust localization for intelligent robots that operate in complex dynamic environments. Additionally, to meet the demands of some high-level tasks, dynamic SLAM can be integrated with multiple object tracking. This article presents a survey on dynamic SLAM from the perspective of feature choices. A discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of different visual features is provided in this article.

Visual simultaneous localization and mapping (VSLAM) is an essential technique used in areas such as robotics and augmented reality for pose estimation and 3D mapping. Research on VSLAM using both monocular and stereo cameras has grown significantly over the last two decades. There is, therefore, a need for emphasis on a comprehensive review of the evolving architecture of such algorithms in the literature. Although VSLAM algorithm pipelines share similar mathematical backbones, their implementations are individualized and the ad hoc nature of the interfacing between different modules of VSLAM pipelines complicates code reuseability and maintenance. This paper presents a software model for core components of VSLAM implementations and interfaces that govern data flow between them while also attempting to preserve the elements that offer performance improvements over the evolution of VSLAM architectures. The framework presented in this paper employs principles from model-driven engineering (MDE), which are used extensively in the development of large and complicated software systems. The presented VSLAM framework will assist researchers in improving the performance of individual modules of VSLAM while not having to spend time on system integration of those modules into VSLAM pipelines.

Accurate localization and reliable mapping is essential for autonomous navigation of robots. As one of the core technologies for autonomous navigation, Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) has attracted widespread attention in recent decades. Based on vision or LiDAR sensors, great efforts have been devoted to achieving real-time SLAM that can support a robot’s state estimation. However, most of the mature SLAM methods generally work under the assumption that the environment is static, while in dynamic environments they will yield degenerate performance or even fail. In this paper, first we quantitatively evaluate the performance of the state-of-the-art LiDAR-based SLAMs taking into account different pattens of moving objects in the environment. Through semi-physical simulation, we observed that the shape, size, and distribution of moving objects all can impact the performance of SLAM significantly, and obtained instructive investigation results by quantitative comparison between LOAM and LeGO-LOAM. Secondly, based on the above investigation, a novel approach named EMO to eliminating the moving objects for SLAM fusing LiDAR and mmW-radar is proposed, towards improving the accuracy and robustness of state estimation. The method fully uses the advantages of different characteristics of two sensors to realize the fusion of sensor information with two different resolutions. The moving objects can be efficiently detected based on Doppler effect by radar, accurately segmented and localized by LiDAR, then filtered out from the point clouds through data association and accurate synchronized in time and space. Finally, the point clouds representing the static environment are used as the input of SLAM. The proposed approach is evaluated through experiments using both semi-physical simulation and real-world datasets. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the method at improving SLAM performance in accuracy (decrease by 30% at least in absolute position error) and robustness in dynamic environments.

This paper describes computer vision algorithms for detection, identification, and tracking of moving objects in a video file. The problem of multiple object tracking can be divided into two parts; detecting moving objects in each frame and associating the detections corresponding to the same object over time. The detection of moving objects uses a background subtraction algorithm based on Gaussian mixture models. The motion of each track is estimated by a Kalman filter. The video tracking algorithm was successfully tested using the BIWI walking pedestrians datasets [. The experimental results show that system can operate in real time and successfully detect, track and identify multiple targets in the presence of partial occlusion.
