Описание: Paper title: SMAT: A Self-Reinforcing Framework for Simultaneous Mapping and Tracking in Unbounded Urban Environments

Abstract: With the increasing prevalence of robots in daily life, it is crucial to enable robots to construct a reliable map online to navigate in unbounded, changing environments. Existing methods can individually achieve the goals of spatial mapping and dynamic object detection and tracking, but there has been limited research on effectively combining them. The proposed framework, SMAT (Simultaneous Mapping and Tracking), integrates the front-end dynamic object detection and tracking module with the back-end static mapping module using a self-reinforcing mechanism, promoting the mutual improvement of mapping and tracking performance. The experiments conducted demonstrate the framework's effectiveness in real-world applications, achieving successful long-range navigation and mapping in multiple urban environments using only one LiDAR, a CPU-only onboard computer, and a consumer-level GPS receiver.
