Monocular SLAM
Monocular SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) is a technology that allows a device, like a smartphone or robot, to navigate and understand its surroundings using just one camera. As it moves, the system captures images to recognize features in the environment and builds a map while keeping track of its own position. This process enables applications like augmented reality and autonomous navigation, helping machines understand and interact with the world without needing multiple cameras or advanced sensors. Essentially, it’s about figuring out where you are and what’s around you using only visual information from a single viewpoint.
