ORB-SLAM

Authors: Raúl Mur-Artal, Juan D. Tardós, J. M. M. Montiel and Dorian Gálvez-López (DBoW2)
ORB-SLAM is a versatile and accurate SLAM solution for Monocular, Stereo and RGB-D cameras. It is able to compute in real-time the camera trajectory and a sparse 3D reconstruction of the scene in a wide variety of environments, ranging from small hand-held sequences of a desk to a car driven around several city blocks. It is able to close large loops and perform global relocalisation in real-time and from wide baselines. It includes an automatic and robust initialization from planar and non-planar scenes. Demostrating videos, code and related publications are shown below.

New Semi-Dense Reconstruction Results

We are currently able to perform semi-dense reconstructions using the accurately localised stream of keyframes from ORB-SLAM. Check our RSS 2015 paper [2]. See the video below running in real-time in an intel core i7-4700MQ. No GPU acceleration was used. This module has not been released yet.
