Abstract
With the continued development of Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technologies, their application scenarios have become increasingly complex. Combining these technologies can significantly enhance operational efficiency in challenging environments. This paper presents an analysis of existing cases where SLAM and GIS technologies have been integrated, demonstrating that such a merger facilitates the consolidation and complementarity of spatial data. This integration allows robots or systems to simultaneously utilize the global information provided by GIS and the dynamic local data captured by SLAM for a more comprehensive and detailed environmental analysis, which is highly beneficial for the field of cartography. Further research has developed a series of operational procedures for integrating SLAM and GIS, utilizing MATLAB as a tool. This study also reviews several existing technical challenges, including real-time performance and computational capacity, environmental complexity and dynamic changes, and multi-scale data processing, and proposes potential solutions. The paper concludes by predicting that the integration of SLAM and GIS will play a crucial role in areas such as smart city management and disaster emergency response, indicating that this research area will become a hot topic in future cartographic technology.
