Technical University of Munich

Seminar IN2107, which is open to Master students from "computer science", "games engineering", "robotics, cognition, and intelligence", and other programs. Please consult TUMonline or your study coordinator for more information.

Visual simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) or Structure from Motion (SfM) is a classical problem in computer vision. It has wide applications in autonomous navigation, virtual/augmented reality, 3D scanning, etc. In this seminar, we will start by reviewing the classical approaches in the literature and then proceed to the more recent methods for SLAM and SfM. In particular, topics will range from monocular to stereo and RGB-D cameras, from static methods to dynamic settings, and from low-level feature-based algorithms to high-level semantics-oriented approaches. We will also include related deep-learning-based papers and consider how these methods might become real-time-capable in the future.
