Deep-learning features excel in visual matching, yet their practical value in tightly coupled visual-inertial SLAM (VI-SLAM) remains insufficiently characterized. We present DL-VINS-Factory, a unified framework that integrates learned feature extractors (ALIKED, RaCo, SuperPoint, XFeat) with either Lucas--Kanade (LK) optical-flow tracking or LightGlue (LG) descriptor matching.
arXiv:2509. 08421v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: For multimedia spatial intelligence through time, multi-view multi-object tracking (MVMOT) suffers from persistent challenges in maintaining consistent object identities across different camera views, leading to tracking inaccuracies.

arXiv:2602. 14771v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The human visual system tracks objects by integrating current observations with previously observed information, adapting to target and scene changes, and reasoning about occlusion at fine granularity.
arXiv:2601. 03040v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: A fundamental requirement for full autonomy is the ability to sustain accurate navigation in the absence of external data, such as GNSS signals or visual information.
arXiv:2608.23290v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Accurate visual localization on robotic and wearable platforms remains challenging in dense urban environments. Existing methodologies typically rely o...
arXiv:2607. 14739v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have achieved impressive results in visuomotor policy learning, yet remain fundamentally reactive, mapping current observations and language to actions without explicit forward prediction of world dynamics.
arXiv:2606. 29237v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Robust robot autonomy depends on scene representations that remain stable enough to support localization, navigation, and downstream decision making in dynamic environments.
Existing Gaussian-splatting-based monocular Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) systems are either tailored to short sequences, are not real-time, or suffer from prohibitive GPU memory requirements, limiting their applicability in realistic, long-horizon scenarios. To address this, we present GLAM-SLAM, a real-time, decoupled Gaussian-splatting SLAM system designed for large-scale outdoor scenes.
