An RGB-D SLAM system is presented that enhances localization and dense mapping within structured, low-textured environments. It combines points, lines, and planes with a decoupled rotation estimation based on the Manhattan World assumption and an efficient instance-wise planar meshing strategy, achieving superior pose estimation accuracy and high-fidelity, real-time reconstruction on CPU.
Key insights
- Combining multiple geometric primitives (points, lines, planes) significantly enhances robustness and accuracy in structured and low-textured environments compared to point-only approaches.
- Leveraging structural regularities, specifically the Manhattan World assumption, enables a 'drift-free' rotation estimation that substantially reduces long-term rotational drift in camera pose.
- An efficient dense mapping of structured scenes can be achieved on a CPU by treating planar regions as instances and employing specialized meshing techniques, offering a practical alternative to computationally heavy volumetric methods.
