A Fast and Robust Place Recognition Approach for Stereo Visual Odometry Using LiDAR Descriptors

Jiawei Mo,Junaed Sattar,Jiawei Mo,Junaed Sattar

Place recognition is a core component of Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithms. Particularly in visual SLAM systems, previously-visited places are recognized by measuring the appearance similarity between images representing these locations. However, such approaches are sensitive to visual appearance change and also can be computationally expensive. In this paper, we propose an a...
