 Title : Optimizing On-Demand Visual SLAM

 Abstract : This talk will discuss our effort on optimizing visual SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) so it can comfortably run on a small device such as smartphones and AR/VR headsets. SLAM systems estimate the state and trajectory of a mobile agent (e.g., a human, a robot, or a vehicle) while also building a map of the environment using onboard sensors such as cameras and LiDARs. Visual SLAM systems achieve this by identifying and tracking incoming color or depth images. However, visual SLAM algorithms are known to be resource-intensive and difficult to run on small devices. As a result, the current practice is to not run a full-scale visual SLAM algorithm but to run a partial algorithm with limited functionality in order to reduce the resource demand of a full-scale algorithm. Due to this reason, SLAM systems are not fully-realizing their potential for enabling a wider variety of applications. To improve this status quo, we have been investigating optimization techniques to make full-scale on-device visual SLAM feasible. Our goal is to concretely explore optimization techniques and trade-offs in terms of accuracy, resource consumption, and latency.
