Simultaneous localization and mapping algorithms have been widely used in robotics in the last few years. These algorithms use different sources like lasers, sensors, cameras as input information to generate 3D maps and find camera location. This paper presents open-source visual SLAM based on ORB SLAM system ideas. The model extracts key points from the image and uses this information for 3 parallel tasks - tracking, local mapping and loop closing. The system input requires image sequences obtained from a calibrated monocular camera. The OpenCV library is used as a basement for our implementation. It provides a convenient interface for users, the ability to commit preferred changes to the code and has a user-friendly environment for further functionality development. Besides, the present work highlights still unresolved localization and mapping problems. Thus, it aims to attract researchers to this task providing efficient functionality. The system was evaluated on the public KITTY visual odometry dataset, including 11 image sequences with ground truth camera trajectories. Keywords: Localization, Mapping, Monocular Vision, SLAM, OpenCV

Student Theses at HSE must be completed in accordance with the University Rules and regulations specified by each educational programme.

Summaries of all theses must be published and made freely available on the HSE website.

The full text of a thesis can be published in open access on the HSE website only if the authoring student (copyright holder) agrees, or, if the thesis was written by a team of students, if all the co-authors (copyright holders) agree. After a thesis is published on the HSE website, it obtains the status of an online publication.

Student theses are objects of copyright and their use is subject to limitations in accordance with the Russian Federation’s law on intellectual property.
