Towards Resource-Aware Visual Inertial SLAM

Abstract

Simultaneous Localization and Mapping is a critical component in Augmented Reality applications with Smart eyewear devices. Despite advances in visual SLAM, recent research has prioritized precision over efficiency. Our work emphasizes the efficiency-accuracy trade-off in a particular SLAM system, namely ORB-SLAM3. By testing different sensor setups and configurations, we found the stereo-inertial setup to be the best choice for the trade-off. Furthermore, we propose a resource-aware modification to ORB-SLAM3, scaling Bundle Adjustment complexity based on computation time, enhancing real-time performance without a significant accuracy loss. And additionally, in some cases it resulted even in an increase of accuracy, opening new promising directions for Bundle Adjustment optimization.
