Implementation Issues and Experimental Evaluation of D-SLAM

Summary

D-SLAM algorithm first described in [1.] allows SLAM to be decoupled into solving a non-linear static estimation problem for mapping and a three-dimensional estimation problem for localization. This paper presents a new version of the D-SLAM algorithm that uses an absolute map instead of a relative map as presented in [1.]. One of the significant advantages of D-SLAM algorithm is its O (N) computational cost where N is the total number of features (landmarks). The theoretical foundations of D-SLAM together with implementation issues including data association, state recovery, and computational complexity are addressed in detail. Evaluation of the D-SLAM algorithm is provided using both real experimental data and simulations.
