Technical Field

Background

SLAM, an acronym for Simultaneous localization and Mapping, which is interpreted as: synchronous positioning and map construction; the technology is a core technology (which belongs to support software in the field of intelligent transportation) for realizing autonomous navigation positioning and building an environment map for an automobile.

For example, CN111767854A proposes a SLAM loop detection method combining scene text semantic information, which has the core steps of: for any key frame in the key frame set, calculating the cosine similarity of the total information vector and the current frame total information vector, and taking the key frame of which the similarity is greater than a certain threshold and which is not directly adjacent to the current frame as a loop candidate frame. As this approach, there is the aforementioned problem of storing information vectors for each key frame. This is very stressful for hardware storage devices.

X_β,massigning a new value of NULL or 0, i.e., deleting the beta level information of the mth key frame and adding the beta level information X of the Yth key frame_β,YStoring, namely, the storage space of the beta level information of the mth key frame is saved to the storage space of the beta level information of the Yth key frame (namely, the storage space of the beta level information is always kept at Q_β)。

₁When Q is<At Y time：

For the level 1-4 information of the Y key frame, calculating layer by layer, and determining whether to store:

for any beta-th layer of the 1 st to 4 th layers,

When Z is_β,m>Z_β,Y

when Z is_β,m≤Z_β,Y

X_β,massigning a new value of NULL or 0, i.e., deleting the beta level information of the mth key frame and adding the beta level information X of the Yth key frame_β,YStoring, i.e. of the mth key frameThe storage space of the beta level information is allowed to be equal to the storage space of the beta level information of the Y key frame (namely, the storage space of the beta level information is always kept at Q_β)。

It should be noted that, according to the first embodiment: for any I key frame j layer information X_j,IThe value is not limited to be a numerical value, that is, it may be a character set, for example, as in the first embodiment: x_1，IIs the BOW model data, and may also be a data set, for example: the first embodiment is as follows: x_4，IIs a dense point cloud data set.

The above-mentioned embodiments are only for convenience of description, and are not intended to limit the present invention in any way, and those skilled in the art will understand that the technical features of the present invention can be modified or changed by other equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention.
