AMB3R-SLAM: Kilometer-scale SLAM with Hierarchical Backend

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

AMB3R‑SLAM is a real‑time monocular SLAM system that can reconstruct kilometer‑scale trajectories over 10,000 frames on a single consumer‑grade GPU. It combines a lightweight front‑end for low‑latency tracking with a hierarchical backend that enforces local, mid‑level, and global consistency, avoiding bundle adjustment and thus handling dynamic scenes naturally. The system also supports stereo, RGB‑D, and LiDAR inputs, achieving strong camera tracking performance and reducing absolute trajectory error by over 70% on several datasets, with sub‑meter accuracy when LiDAR is added.

GLAM-SLAM: Real-time Gaussian Large-scale Mapping via Flow Densification and Spatial Decomposition

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.

LingGS: Decoupling Feed-Forward Geometry Prediction from Camera Tracking for High-Fidelity Gaussian SLAM

The paper introduces LingGS, an online monocular RGB Gaussian splatting SLAM system that decouples feed‑forward geometry prediction from camera tracking. By leveraging a frozen streaming 3D foundation model as a virtual RGB‑D sensor for depth estimation and an explicit geometric solver for camera motion via feature reprojection, LingGS achieves higher tracking accuracy than learned predictions. Experiments on indoor and outdoor datasets demonstrate significant improvements in reconstruction quality, achieving about 7 FPS on a single RTX 4090 and 2–3× the throughput of prior SLAM systems.

WorkIng: A Real-World and Synthetic Highway Work-Zone Benchmark Dataset for Autonomous Navigation

WorkIng is a dual-domain benchmark for autonomous navigation in highway work zones, offering a real-world dataset (WorkIng-Highway) with 360° multi‑modal sensor data and over 12,000 annotated frames, and a synthetic counterpart (WorkIng-CARLA) that simulates 24 regulation‑aware scenarios across six topologies and traffic standards. The benchmark includes 227,399 tracked 3D bounding boxes and 100+ custom 3D assets. Experiments show that real‑world data drives performance, while scenario‑stratified synthetic augmentation improves 2D recognition, 3D detection, and trajectory planning.
