Abstract

This paper reviews the latest research progress of visual SLAM in dynamic scenes. The improved algorithms dependent on deep learning and multi-sensor fusion are discussed. First of all, the challenges of traditional visual SLAM in dynamic environments are stated, especially the interference of high dynamic objects on system feature extraction, pose estimation and mapping. Then, the application of several object detection technologies such as YOLOv5 and YOLOv7 in dynamic visual SLAM was analyzed in detail. These methods significantly improve the positioning precision and robustness of the system by identifying and eliminating dynamic feature points in the scene. In addition, this paper explores the visual SLAM system combining semantic segmentation and geometric constraint optimization, and finally introduces the multi-sensor SLAM method combining IMU data, point cloud data and visual information. Experimental results show that these improved algorithms have a significant improvement in positioning accuracy and system robustness compared with traditional visual SLAM algorithms under TUM and other dynamic data sets.
