Zusammenfassung
Monocular Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) approaches have progressed signifcantly over
the last two decades. However, keypoint-based approaches only provide limited structural information
in a 3D point cloud which does not fulfil the requirements of applications such as Augmented Reality (AR).
SLAM systems that provide dense environment maps are either computationally intensive or require depth
information from additional sensors. In this paper, we use a deep neural network that estimates planar regions
from RGB input images and fuses its output iteratively with the point cloud map of a SLAM system to cre-
ate an efficient monocular planar SLAM system. We present qualitative results of the created maps, as well
as an evaluation of the tracking accuracy and runtime of our approach.
