A variational approach to mapping: an exploration of map representation for SLAM

Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithms are used by autonomous robots to build or update maps of an environment while maintaining their position simultaneously. A fundamental open problem in SLAM is the e ective representation of the map in unknown, ambiguous, complex, dynamic enviro...
