Researchers have developed NGD-SLAM, a novel visual SLAM system capable of operating in real-time on a CPU without requiring a GPU. This system enhances practicality for robotic applications by employing a mask propagation mechanism to decouple camera tracking from deep learning-based masking. It also integrates ORB features with optical flow methods for improved robustness and efficiency, achieving a 60 FPS tracking rate on a laptop CPU while maintaining high localization accuracy in dynamic environments.
