While many visual simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) systems use point features as landmarks, few take advantage of the edge information in images. Those SLAM systems that do observe edge features do not consider edges with all degrees of freedom. Edges are difficult to use in vision SLAM because of selection, observation, initialization and data association challenges. A map that includes edge features, however, contains higher-order geometric information useful both during and after SLAM. We define a well-localized edge landmark and present an efficient algorithm for selecting such landmarks. Further, we describe how to initialize new landmarks, observe mapped landmarks in subsequent images, and address the data association challenges of edges. Our methods, implemented in a particle-filter SLAM system, operate at frame rate on live video sequences.
