A High-accuracy Event-based Underwater SLAM System (opens in new tab)

While event cameras offer immense potential for underwater SLAM, existing Time Surface (TS)-based methods prove highly unreliable when deployed underwater. Fluctuating camera velocities severely degrade TS imaging quality, while wide stereo baselines and repetitive underwater textures induce critical matching failures, frequently triggering system failure. To overcome these challenges, we develop the first high-accuracy event-based underwater st...
