A new research paper evaluates the robustness of monocular SLAM systems, particularly under various real-world corruptions like adverse weather and illumination changes. The study compares a classical feature-based system with two learned trackers, analyzing their performance not just by tracking failure but also by accumulated drift. Results indicate that learned trackers tend to exhibit sustained drift rather than catastrophic failure, and their relative performance can shift depending on the fidelity of the synthetic corruption used for testing.
