We provide a large dataset containing RGB-D image sequences and the ground-truth camera trajectories with the goal to establish a benchmark for the evaluation of visual SLAM systems. [] Key Method Further, we provide the accelerometer data from the Kinect. Finally, we propose an evaluation criterion for measuring the quality of the estimated camera trajectory of visual SLAM systems.

A large set of image sequences from a Microsoft Kinect with highly accurate and time-synchronized ground truth camera poses from a motion capture system is recorded for the evaluation of RGB-D SLAM systems.
An evaluation of the RGB-D SLAM system
We present an approach to simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) for RGB-D cameras like the Microsoft Kinect. Our system concurrently estimates the trajectory of a hand-held Kinect and…
A benchmark for RGB-D visual odometry, 3D reconstruction and SLAM
TLDR
This work introduces the Imperial College London and National University of Ireland Maynooth (ICL-NUIM) dataset and presents a collection of handheld RGB-D camera sequences within synthetically generated environments to provide a method to benchmark the surface reconstruction accuracy.
Evaluating Egomotion and Structure-from-Motion Approaches Using the TUM RGB-D Benchmark
TLDR
The TUM RGB-D benchmark for visual odometry and SLAM evaluation is presented and the evaluation results of the first users from outside the group are discussed and briefly summarized.
Incremental registration of RGB-D images
TLDR
This paper presents a real-time technique for 6-DoF camera pose estimation through the incremental registration of RGB-D images and shows that the proposed two-stage approach significantly reduces error in the pose estimation, compared to a state-of-the-art ICP registration technique.
Real-time visual odometry from dense RGB-D images
TLDR
An energy-based approach to visual odometry from RGB-D images of a Microsoft Kinect camera is presented which is faster than a state-of-the-art implementation of the iterative closest point (ICP) algorithm by two orders of magnitude.

TLDR
An adaptive architecture which computes the pose estimate from the most reliable measurements in a given environment is proposed and thorough evaluation of the resulting algorithm is presented against a dataset of RGB-D benchmarks, demonstrating superior or comparable performance in the absence of the global optimization stage.
Improved-ORB-based SLAM Using RGB-D Data
TLDR
An improved ORB features based SLAM framework with corresponding method using RGB-D data is proposed, which effectively reduces errors, enhances robustness, and builds a dense map of the environment.
Toward evaluation of visual navigation algorithms on RGB-D data from the first- and second-generation Kinect
TLDR
A new RGB-D data set is described, which is a first attempt to systematically evaluate the indoor navigation algorithms on data from two different sensors in the same environment and along the same trajectories, and evaluates the visual odometry algorithm on the obtained sequences.
Survey and Evaluation of RGB-D SLAM
TLDR
A large number of evaluation experiments are conducted on multiple RGB-D SLAM systems, and their advantages and disadvantages are analyzed, as well as performance differences in different application scenarios, and references are provided for researchers and developers.
