Abstract

Current visual SLAM loop closure detection algorithms encounter significant challenges in dynamic environments, where moving objects such as pedestrians lead to inconsistencies in feature points, compromising map accuracy. This study proposes a novel visual SLAM loop closure detection algorithm leveraging semantic segmentation, specifically designed for complex indoor dynamic scenarios. The proposed approach introduces the Bottleneck with Squeeze and Excitation Block (BnSEBlock) to improve the U-Net++ semantic segmentation model by incorporating residual connections, dilated convolutions, and an adaptive attention mechanism. Dynamic weights are assigned to semantic information based on motion intensity and centroid coordinates, which are derived through adaptive HDBSCAN clustering. Loop closure is identified by assessing the similarity between keyframes and candidate frames using these weighted parameters. Experimental evaluations on publicly available datasets demonstrate that the enhanced U-Net++ model achieves a Mean Intersection over Union (MIoU) of 76.9% and reduces the loss to 0.172. In comparison, the traditional bag-of-words-based approach yields a maximum similarity of 0.273 for loop images. The proposed algorithm shows a 61.57% improvement in localization accuracy within dynamic indoor environments.
