SLAM Adversarial Lab: An Extensible Framework for Visual SLAM Robustness Evaluation under Adverse Conditions

SLAM Adversarial Lab (SAL) is a modular framework designed to evaluate visual SLAM systems under adverse conditions such as fog, rain, camera, and video transport perturbations. It transforms existing datasets into adversarial versions by applying perturbations with severity levels expressed in real‑world units (e.g., meters for fog visibility). SAL’s extensible architecture separates datasets, perturbations, and SLAM algorithms via common interfaces, allowing users to add new components without rewriting integration code, and includes a search procedure to identify the severity at which a SLAM system fails.

OpenCVL: An Open, Diverse, and Large-Scale Dataset for Fine-Grained Cross-View Localization

OpenCVL is a large, open dataset for fine-grained cross-view localization, comprising 617,388 ground‑aerial image pairs from 41 European cities. It blends high‑end sensor data with diverse in‑the‑wild images and includes a curation framework to correct pose annotations, enabling reliable evaluation. The dataset also offers cross‑area and snowy test sets to probe generalization, and experiments show that adding noisy in‑the‑wild data improves model performance on clean tests.
