One of the key challenges of visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) in large-scale environments is how to effectively use global localization to correct the cumulative errors from long-term tracking. This challenge presents itself in two main aspects: first, the difficulty for robots in revisiting previous locations to perform loop closure, and second, the considerable memory resource...
