vSLAM

Monocular, stereo, and RGB-D visual simultaneous localization and mapping (vSLAM)

Visual simultaneous localization and mapping (vSLAM), refers to the process of calculating the position and orientation of a camera, with respect to its surroundings, while simultaneously mapping the environment. The process uses only visual inputs from the camera. Applications for visual SLAM include augmented reality, robotics, and autonomous driving. For more details, see Implement Visual SLAM in MATLAB.
