Abstract

With the significant increase in demand for artificial intelligence, environmental map reconstruction has become a research hotspot for obstacle avoidance navigation, unmanned operations, and virtual reality. The quality of the map plays a vital role in positioning, path planning, and obstacle avoidance. This review starts with the development of SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) and proceeds to a review of V-SLAM (Visual-SLAM) from its proposal to the present, with a summary of its historical milestones. In this context, the five parts of the classic V-SLAM framework—visual sensor, visual odometer, backend optimization, loop detection, and mapping—are explained separately. Meanwhile, the details of the latest methods are shown; VI-SLAM (Visual inertial SLAM) is reviewed and extended. The four critical techniques of V-SLAM and its technical difficulties are summarized as feature detection and matching, selection of keyframes, uncertainty technology, and expression of maps. Finally, the development direction and needs of the V-SLAM field are proposed.
