I'm slightly surprised noone has suggested Coda http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/; mind you I haven't read all the rest of the comments - this is Slashdot (& I'm at work)! It looks like Coda would be ideal for this sort of disconnected use of files from a file server, and I'm quite looking forward to giving it a spin on the next laptop I buy. Has anyone else got much experiance of using Coda? Does it actually work well, or is the synchronization a PITA, and what about its speed compared with that of NFS or SMB?
Thanks for any feedback.
One technique for dealing with errors and gradual drift is the use of a covariance matrix to allow the propagation of location information through a scene. Such as in Andrew Davison's work http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~ajd/ , although this only deals with a very sparse map of feature points, using mono vision in real-time. One nice thing about his SceneLib and MonoSLAMGlow software, is that it'll work with a relatively cheap single webcam.
Another nice visual SLAM (Simultaneous Localisation And Mapping) page is Robert Sim's http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~simra/index.html , where he uses multi-camera vision to produce a much denser map.
