Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) combining visual and inertial measurements has achieved significant attention in the community of Robotics and Computer Vision. However, it is still a challenge to balance real-time requirements and accuracy. Therefore, this paper proposes a feedback mechanism for stereo Visual-Inertial SLAM (VISLAM) to provide accurate and real-time motion estimation and map reconstruction. The key idea of the feedback mechanism is that the frontend and backend in the VISLAM system can promote each other. The results of the backend optimization are fed back to the Kalman Filter (KF)-based frontend to reduce the motion estimate error caused by the well-known linearization of the KF estimator. Conversely, this more accurate motion estimate of the frontend can accelerate the backend optimization since it provides a more accurate initial state for the backend. In addition, we design a relocalization and continued SLAM framework with the feedback mechanism for the application of autonomous robot navigation or continuing SLAM. We evaluated the performance of the proposed VISLAM system through experiments on public EuRoC dataset and real-world environments. The experimental results demonstrate that our system is a promising VISLAM system compared with other state-of-the-art VISLAM systems in terms of both computing cost and accuracy. |
