CGS-SLAM: Collaborative Gaussian Splatting based SLAM for Multi-Agent Reconstruction

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

CGS‑SLAM is a hybrid decentralized/centralized SLAM system that enables multi‑agent 3D Gaussian Splatting reconstruction using only RGB images and inertial data. Each agent locally tracks motion with inertial priors, builds a scaled map via a monocular depth estimator, and shares keyframe encodings to facilitate dynamic keyframing and submap alignment. A central server then aligns submaps with a view‑alignment model, keeping communication costs low while achieving competitive tracking, higher rendering quality, and accurate submap alignment in GNSS‑denied environments.

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.

Visual Relocalization from Sparse Views in Aliased and Low-Texture Environments via Novel View Synthesis

Visual localization becomes extremely challenging in planetary-like terrains characterized by low texture, perceptual aliasing, harsh illumination, and sparse, weakly overlapping viewpoints induced by forward rover motion and unconstrained driving directions. Under these conditions, state-of-the-art image-to-image and image-to-map matching pipelines suffer significant performance degradation.
