The representation and tracking of moving objects, however, has significant potential for applications in robotics or augmented reality. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to dynamic SLAM with dense object-level representations. We represent rigid objects in local volumetric signed distance function (SDF) maps, and formulate multi-object tracking as direct alignment of RGB-D images with the SDF representations. Our main novelty is a probabilistic formulation which naturally leads to strategies for data association and occlusion handling. We analyze our approach in experiments and demonstrate that our approach compares favorably with the state-of-the-art methods in terms of robustness and accuracy.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1904.11781v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/1904.11781v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"em-fusion-dynamic-object-level-slam-with","repo_url":"https://github.com/EmbodiedVision/emfusion","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"tf","reach":{"status":"ok","spdx":"GPL-3.0"}}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"multi-object-tracking","task_name":"Multi-Object Tracking"},{"task_slug":"object","task_name":"Object"},{"task_slug":"object-tracking","task_name":"Object Tracking"},{"task_slug":"occlusion-handling","task_name":"Occlusion Handling"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1904.11781","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
