• Abstract summary: MoD-SLAM is the first monocular NeRF-based dense mapping method that allows 3D reconstruction in real-time in unbounded scenes. By introducing a robust depth loss term into the tracking process, our SLAM system achieves more precise pose estimation in large-scale scenes. Our experiments on two standard datasets show that MoD-SLAM achieves competitive performance, improving the accuracy of the 3D reconstruction and localization by up to 30% and 15% respectively.

• Abstract: Monocular SLAM has received a lot of attention due to its simple RGB inputs and the lifting of complex sensor constraints. However, existing monocular SLAM systems are designed for bounded scenes, restricting the applicability of SLAM systems. To address this limitation, we propose MoD-SLAM, the first monocular NeRF-based dense mapping method that allows 3D reconstruction in real-time in unbounded scenes. Specifically, we introduce a Gaussian-based unbounded scene representation approach to solve the challenge of mapping scenes without boundaries. This strategy is essential to extend the SLAM application. Moreover, a depth estimation module in the front-end is designed to extract accurate priori depth values to supervise mapping and tracking processes. By introducing a robust depth loss term into the tracking process, our SLAM system achieves more precise pose estimation in large-scale scenes. Our experiments on two standard datasets show that MoD-SLAM achieves competitive performance, improving the accuracy of the 3D reconstruction and localization by up to 30% and 15% respectively compared with existing state-of-the-art monocular SLAM systems.

  CNNs for monocular depth prediction represent two largely disjoint approaches towards building a 3D map of the surrounding environment. We propose a joint narrow and wide baseline based self-improving framework, where on the one hand the CNN-predicted depth is leveraged to perform pseudo RGB-D feature-based SLAM. On the other hand, the bundle-adjusted 3D scene structures and camera poses from the more principled geometric SLAM are injected back into the depth network through novel wide baseline losses.
