• Abstract: In this paper, a degeneracy avoidance method for a point and line based visual SLAM algorithm is proposed. Visual SLAM predominantly uses point features. However, point features lack robustness in low texture and illuminance variant environments. Therefore, line features are used to compensate the weaknesses of point features. In addition, point features are poor in representing discernable features for the naked eye, meaning mapped point features cannot be recognized. To overcome the limitations above, line features were actively employed in previous studies. However, since degeneracy arises in the process of using line features, this paper attempts to solve this problem. First, a simple method to identify degenerate lines is presented. In addition, a novel structural constraint is proposed to avoid the degeneracy problem. At last, a point and line based monocular SLAM system using a robust optical-flow based lien tracking method is implemented. The results are verified using experiments with the EuRoC dataset and compared with other state-of-the-art algorithms. It is proven that our method yields more accurate localization as well as mapping results.

  Anomaly Detection (AD) is a critical task that involves identifying observations that do not conform to a learned model of normality. We propose a novel approach to AD using explainability to capture such novel features as unexplained observations in the input space. Our approach establishes a new state-of-the-art across multiple benchmarks, handling diverse anomaly types.

  We propose a novel sparse optical flow (SOF)-based line feature tracking method for the camera pose estimation problem.

We propose guidelines for effective use of region-to-region matches in the course of a full model estimation pipeline. Experiments show that affine solvers can achieve accuracy comparable to point-based solvers at faster run-times.
