SLAM

Simultaneous Location and Mapping



Estimate of unknown \(\mu\)

Classic robotics problem: reconstruct a scene by moving a camera about the room.

In practice, often boils down to a least squares inference problem, or more generally a Gaussian Belief propagation inference problem.

NICE-SLAM

I am interested in a recent technique that combines implicit representation with SLAM (Zhu et al. 2022).

There are many cool tricks combined there — differentiable rendering etc. Hierarchical implicit representations.
