The paradigm of a centralized architecture is well established, with the robots (i. e. agents) running Visual-Inertial Odometry (VIO) onboard while communicating relevant data, such as e. g. Keyframes (KFs), to a central back-end (i. e. server), which then merges and optimizes the joint maps of the agents.

Collaborative SLAM enables a group of agents to simultaneously co-localize and jointly map an environment, thus paving the way to wide-ranging applications of multi-robot perception and multi-user AR experiences by eliminating the need for external infrastructure or pre-built maps.

As a basis for a localization system we propose a complete on-board mapping pipeline able to map robust meaningful landmarks, such as poles from power lines, in the vicinity of the vehicle.

VIO has been widely used and researched to control and aid the automation of navigation of robots especially in the absence of absolute position measurements, such as GPS.

Research on learning suitable feature descriptors for Computer Vision has recently shifted to deep learning where the biggest challenge lies with the formulation of appropriate loss functions, especially since the descriptors to be learned are not known at training time.
