Abstract
Simultaneous location and mapping (SLAM) is an integral part of scene understanding. There have been two sensors that in combination have shown to be particularly useful for this task: cameras and inertial measurement units (IMUs). In the last years a lot of very powerful and precise purely visual SLAM methods have been proposed, yet all of them exhibit a lack of robustness especially to fast motion and textureless areas. This is where IMUs are a great addition. They can provide short-term ...
