• Abstract: Determining the position and orientation of a sensor vis-a-vis its surrounding, while simultaneously mapping the environment around that sensor or simultaneous localization and mapping is quickly becoming an important advancement in embedded vision with a large number of different possible applications. This paper presents a comprehensive comparison of the latest open-source SLAM algorithms with the main focus being their performance in different environmental surroundings. The chosen algorithms are evaluated on common publicly available datasets and the results reasoned with respect to the datasets' environment. This is the first stage of our main target of testing the methods in off-road scenarios.

  We propose a framework that generalizes the components commonly used by Unsupervised Domain Adaptation (UDA) algorithms for detection. Specifically, we propose a novel UDA algorithm, ViSGA, that leverages the best design choices and introduces a simple but effective method to aggregate features at instance-level. We show that both similarity-based grouping and adversarial training allows our model to focus on coarsely aligning feature groups, without being forced to match all instances across loosely aligned domains.
