Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping in Dynamic Environments (SLAMIDE) with Reversible Data Associa
Abstract— The conventional technique for dealing with dynamic objects in SLAM is to detect them and then either treat them as outliers [20][1] or track them separately using trad...

Data Association in O(n) for Divide and Conquer SLAM
—In this paper we show that all processes associated to the move-sense-update cycle of EKF SLAM can be carried out in time linear in the number of map features. We describe Divid...
