Towards Effective Visual-Inertial SLAM with Passive-Only Sensors for Low-Cost Autonomous Underwater Vehicles
Improvements to Visual-Inertial Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (VI-SLAM) for low-cost autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are critical for transitioning advanced marine robotics from specialized labs to broader research and hobbyist applications. While high-end AUVs typically rely on expensive sensor suites -...
