Abstract

Many applications of Visual SLAM, such as augmented reality, virtual reality, robotics or autonomous driving, require versatile, robust and precise solutions, most often with real-time capability. In this work, we describe OV 2 SLAM, a fully online algorithm, handling both monocular and stereo camera setups, various map scales and frame-rates ranging from a few Hertz up to several hundreds. It combines numerous recent contributions in visual localization within an efficient multi-threaded architecture. Extensive comparisons with competing algorithms shows the state-of-the-art accuracy and real-time performance of the resulting algorithm. For the benefit of the community, we release the source code: https://github.com/ov2slam/ov2slam .
