Stratified Particle Filter Monocular SLAM

This paper presents a solution to the problem of simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), developed from a particle filter, utilizing a monocular camera as its main sensor. It implements a novel sample-weighting idea, based on the of sorting of particles into sets and separating those sets with an importance-factor offset. The grouping criteria for samples is the number of landmarks correctly matched by a given particle. This results in the...
