Twilight SLAM: A Comparative Study of Low-Light Visual SLAM Pipelines
share
This paper presents a comparative study of low-light visual SLAM pipelines, specifically focusing on determining an efficient combination of the state-of-the-art low-light image enhancement algorithms with standard and contemporary Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) frameworks by evaluating their performance in challenging low-light conditions. In this study, we investigate the performance of several different low-light SLAM pipelines for dark and/or poorly-lit datasets as opposed to just partially dim-lit datasets like other works in the literature. Our study takes an experimental approach to qualitatively and quantitatively compare the chosen combinations of modules to enhance the feature-based visual SLAM.
