RTAB-Map (Real-Time Appearance-Based Mapping) is an Open Source RGB-D Graph-Based SLAM approach based on an incremental appearance-based loop closure detector. The loop closure detector uses a bag-of-words approach to determinate how likely a new image comes from a previous location or a new location. When a loop closure hypothesis is accepted, a new constraint is added to the map's graph, then a graph optimizer minimizes the errors in the map. A memory management approach is used to limit the number of locations used for loop closure detection and graph optimization, so that real-time constraints on large-scale environnements are always respected.

* Export in PLY or OBJ (with textures up to 720p)
* Multi-session mapping (save and continue later)
* Localization-only mode (in a previous session)
