Abstract:

The goal of visual SLAM technology is to build a more complete map and estimate a more accurate camera pose. To construct a more detailed and complete 3D map, a semi-dense 3D reconstruction ORB-SLAM algorithm with improved ORB feature matching is proposed to realize the construction of a sparse 3D point cloud map of the environment. On the basis of the ORB-SLAM algorithm, a semi-dense mapping thread is added to establish a semi-dense 3D point cloud map. Then, the scale invariance of SURF feature matching algorithm is used to improve ORB feature matching. Simulation experiments in the TUM RGBD datasets reveal that the 3D map established by the improved ORB-SLAM algorithm can more intuitively exhibit the contours of objects in the environment when compared with the ORB-SLAM algorithm, and the feature matching accuracy is increased. Finally, the consistency of the algorithm is verified by experiments in two datasets.
