Visual SLAM Technology Benefits and Applications

Visual Simultaneous Localization and mapping is a process that determines the orientation and position of a sensor as far its surroundings are concerned. At the same time, it performs the mapping of the environment around the sensor. As far as commercialization is concerned, this technology is still in its period of infancy. The good thing is that it claims to address the shortcomings of navigation and vision systems. Let’s find out more about the benefits and applications of this system.

First of all, it is important to remember that SLAM is not the name of a specific piece of software or algorithm. As a matter of fact, it represents the process that determines the orientation and position of a sensor.

Civilian Applications of GPS Technology

Aviation

GPS technology is now very much prevalent in commercial aviation. Most commercial jetliners now increasingly employ GPS navigation for initial and non-precision approach to specified airfields. The Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast (ADB-B) is the futuristic primary guidance and navigational GPS technology for which a substantial amount of research, development and investments are being poured in. The ADB-B technology also involves direct inter-aircraft communication within a pre-defined radial proximity wherein it enables the aircraft to inter-communicate their relative speeds, distances, flight paths and locations. The development of this technology is not confined to any one country but is being developed globally through strategic technological multi-lateral alliances. Besides its use in commercial aviation, the GPS ADB-B technology is also being employed in the navigation Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The UAV’s are primarily used for resource mapping and air surveillance imaging – a task that was previously tasked to earth orbiting … Read more
