Deformation-based loop closure for dense RGB-D SLAM

This video shows the integration of SLAM-pose-graph optimization, spatially extended KinectFusion, and deformation-based loop closure in dense RGB-D mapping - integrating several of the capabilities discussed in Chap. 46.3.3 and Chap. 46.4, Springer Handbook of Robotics, 2nd edn (2016).
