Abstract

Visual–inertial SLAM algorithms empower robots to autonomously explore and navigate unknown scenes. However, most existing SLAM systems heavily rely on the assumption of static environments, making them ineffective when confronted with dynamic objects in the real world. To enhance the robustness and localization accuracy of SLAM systems in dynamic scenes, this paper introduces a visual–inertial SLAM framework that integrates semantic and geometric information, called D-VINS. This paper begins by presenting a method for dynamic object classification based on the current motion state of features, enabling the identification of temporary static features within the environment. Subsequently, a feature dynamic check module is devised, which utilizes inertial measurement unit (IMU) prior information and geometric constraints from adjacent frames to calculate dynamic factors. This module also validates the classification outcomes of the temporary static features. Finally, a dynamic adaptive bundle adjustment module is developed, utilizing the dynamic factors of the features to adjust their weights during the nonlinear optimization process. The proposed methodology is evaluated using both public datasets and a dataset created specifically for this study. The experimental results demonstrate that D-VINS stands as one of the most real-time, accurate, and robust systems for dynamic scenes, showcasing its effectiveness in challenging real-world scenes.
