| Abstract: | Semantic Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (Semantic vSLAM) is a critical area of research in robotics and computer vision, focusing on the simultaneous localization of robotic systems and the association of semantic information to construct the most accurate and comprehensive model of the surrounding environment. Since the first foundational work on Semantic vSLAM appeared more than two decades ago, the field has attracted increasing attention across various scientific communities. Despite its significance, the field lacks comprehensive surveys encompassing recent advances and persistent challenges. In response, this study provides a thorough examination of the state-of-the-art of Semantic vSLAM techniques, with the aim of illuminating current trends and key obstacles. Beginning with an in-depth exploration of the evolution of visual SLAM, this study outlines its strengths and unique characteristics while also critically assessing previous survey literature. Subsequently, a unified problem formulation and evaluation of the modular solution framework is proposed, which decomposes the problem into discrete stages, including visual localization, semantic feature extraction, mapping, data association, and loop closure optimization. Moreover, this study investigates alternative methodologies such as deep learning and the utilization of large language models, alongside a review of relevant research about contemporary SLAM datasets. Concluding with a discussion on potential future research directions, this study serves as a comprehensive resource for researchers seeking to navigate the complex landscape of Semantic vSLAM. |
