Abstract
An apparatus for accelerating simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) includes a SLAM processor including a front-end processor and a back-end processor. The front-end processor is configured to track a position of a first feature, among features extracted from a first frame, in a second frame subsequent to the first frame, and the back-end processor is configured to obtain a first measurement regarding a map point and a camera pose of the first feature based on the position of the first feature in the second frame tracked by the front-end processor, compute elements affecting an optimization matrix in relation to the first measurement, among elements of a Hessian matrix regarding the map point and the camera pose, and accumulate the computed elements in the optimization matrix used to perform an optimization operation with respect to states of the map point and the camera pose.
