Nearly all state-of-the-art SLAM algorithms are designed to exploit patterns in data from specific sensing modalities, such as time-of-flight and structured light depth sensors, or RGB cameras. This specialization increases localization accuracy in domains where the given modality detects many high-quality features, but comes at the cost of decreasing performance in other, less favorable environme...
