New SLAM System Achieves High-Fidelity Depth Sensing with Neural Structured Light

Researchers have developed NSL-SLAM, a new Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) system that leverages high-fidelity neural structured-light depth sensing. This system enhances depth quality by incorporating monocular depth priors into the structured-light decoding process, resulting in a 35% reduction in depth RMSE on the Replica-SL benchmark. NSL-SLAM prioritizes this dense, metrically accurate depth for tracking, supplementing it with sparse visual correspondences only in geometrically challenging scenarios. The system demonstrates robust performance on real-world benchmarks, achieving significantly lower trajectory deviation and avoiding catastrophic failures where other methods falter, while operating at a practical 20.9 FPS.
