Ellipsoid-SLAM: enhancing dynamic scene understanding through ellipsoidal object representation and trajectory tracking
摘要
This paper presents Ellipsoid-SLAM, an object-level Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) method specifically designed to enhance the accuracy and robustness of camera pose measurement in dynamic scenes. To address the challenges posed by dynamic objects, we introduce a novel approach that represents detected instance objects as 3D ellipsoids and constructs an object map. By leveraging motion detection, we identify dynamic objects and measure their trajectories within the 3D map. Additionally, we propose an enhanced relocalization method that jointly optimizes static objects and internal 3D points to accurately measure the camera pose after tracking loss. Experimental results on the TUM and BONN datasets demonstrate that Ellipsoid-SLAM achieves higher camera pose measurement accuracy compared to state-of-the-art methods, particularly in dynamic scenes. Our approach not only tracks dynamic objects but also eliminates unstable feature points on these objects, resulting in more precise camera pose estimation. The source code and datasets used in this study are available at , complete with comprehensive usage guidelines to facilitate replication and evaluation of our results.
