Deformation-based loop closure for large scale dense RGB-D SLAM

In this paper we present a system for capturing large scale dense maps in an online setting with a low cost RGB-D sensor. Central to this work is the use of an "as-rigid-as-possible" space deformation for efficient dense map correction in a pose graph optimisation framework. By combining p...
