A LiDAR/Visual SLAM Backend with Loop Closure Detection and Graph Optimization
LiDAR (light detection and ranging), as an active sensor, is investigated in the simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) system. Typically, a LiDAR SLAM system consists of front-end odometry and back-end optimization modules.

Loop Closure Detection Using Local 3D Deep Descriptors [PDF]
We present a simple yet effective method to address loop closure detection in simultaneous localisation and mapping using local 3D deep descriptors (L3Ds). L3Ds are emerging compact representations of patches extracted from point clouds that are learnt from data using a deep learning algorithm.

LiDAR Iris for Loop-Closure Detection [PDF]
In this paper, a global descriptor for a LiDAR point cloud, called LiDAR Iris, is proposed for fast and accurate loop-closure detection. A binary signature image can be obtained for each point cloud after several LoG-Gabor filtering and thresholding operations on the LiDAR-Iris image representation.

SemanticLoop: Loop Closure With 3D Semantic Graph Matching [PDF]
Loop closure can effectively correct the accumulated error in robot localization, which plays a critical role in the long-term navigation of the robot. Traditional appearance-based methods rely on local features and are prone to failure in ambiguous environments. On the other hand, object recognition can infer objects' category, pose, and extent. These

AirLoop: Lifelong Loop Closure Detection [PDF]
Loop closure detection is an important building block that ensures the accuracy and robustness of simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) systems. Due to their generalization ability, CNN-based approaches have received increasing attention. Although they normally benefit from training on datasets that are diverse and reflective of the environments,

SVG-Loop: Semantic–Visual–Geometric Information-Based Loop Closure Detection
Loop closure detection is an important component of visual simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). However, most existing loop closure detection methods are vulnerable to complex environments and use limited information from images. As higher-level
