Robust Simultaneous Tracking and Local Dense Structured Mapping at Scenes lack of Geometric Features

In this paper, we present a simultaneous tracking and dense structured mapping method aimed at robotic tasks including obstacle avoidance, path planning and manipulation. This is achieved through (1) sparse-to-dense pose estimation with both keypoints and dense vertex images for keeping robust at scenes lack of geometric features, (2) dense local map algorithm, which clears map outside the neighbo...
