CoMo3R-SLAM: Collaborative Monocular Dense SLAM with Learned 3D Reconstruction Priors for Outdoor Multi-Agent Systems

Overview

arXiv:2605.30488v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Outdoor robot teams need a shared dense map despite limited overlap, independent reference frames, and uncertain monocular scale. Collaborative dense SLAM systems typically resolve this with depth sensors, which add payload, power, and calibration cost. We present CoMo3R-SLAM, a collaborative monocular dense SLAM system that places learned feed-forward 3D reconstruction priors at the center of the multi-agent problem: their dense pointmaps anchor scale across agents and supply correspondences strong enough to verify inter-agent links geometrically. Each agent tracks and fuses its own keyframes from a single RGB stream, while a coordinator retrieves cross-agent keyframes over the prior's encoder features, verifies them by bidirectional dense pointmap matching, synchronizes the independent similarity gauges in closed form, and refines every keyframe in one unified multi-agent sim(3) graph. Finally, a pose-depth alternation over geometry-aware segments lets inter-agent observations constrain dense structure as well as trajectories. Requiring neither measured depth nor supplied intrinsics, CoMo3R-SLAM attains the lowest trajectory error on three of four Tanks and Temples scenes, and competitive accuracy on Waymo driving sequences, while running at approximately 6-8 FPS on RTX 3080 Ti. A long-horizon traversal, independently captured day and night streams, and teams of up to four agents further map its operating range.
