Understanding SLAM Using Pose Graph Optimization | Autonomous Navigation, Part 3

This video provides some intuition around Pose Graph Optimization—a popular framework for solving the simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) problem in autonomous navigation.

We’ll cover why uncertainty in a vehicle’s sensors and state estimation makes building a map of the environment difficult and how pose graph optimization can deal with it. We’ll also briefly cover occupancy grid maps as one way to represent the environment model.
