An image-to-map loop closing method for monocular SLAM

In this paper we present a loop closure method for a handheld single-camera SLAM system based on our previous work on relocalisation. By finding correspondences between the current image and the map, our system is able to reliably detect loop closures. We compare our algorithm to existing techniques...
