Results for outdoor-SLAM using sparse extended information filters
In [Thrun, S., et al., 2001], we proposed the sparse extended information filter for efficiently solving the simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) problem. In this paper, we extend this algorithm to handle data association problems and report real-world results, obtained with an outdoor vehicle. We find that our approach performs favorably when compared to the extended Kalman filter solution from which it is derived.
