Constrained-covisibility marginalization for efficient on-board stereo SLAM

When targeting embedded applications such as on-board visual localization for small Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAV), available hardware generally becomes a limiting factor. For this reason, the usual strategy is to rely on pure motion integration and/or restricting the size of the map, i.e. performing v...
