Cartographer is a system that provides real-time simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) in 2D and 3D across multiple platforms and sensor configurations.
SLAM & Visual-Inertial Odometry
Open-source simultaneous localization and mapping, visual-inertial odometry and state-estimation systems usable for UAV navigation, inspection and mapping missions.

Engineering scope and evidence boundary
This topic groups SLAM/VIO records that OpenFly can verify from their official repository. The page is an entry point for comparing the role of a visual-inertial estimator, a LiDAR SLAM pipeline and a full SLAM library without treating their different sensor assumptions as interchangeable. Sensor requirements, run-time performance and compatibility claims remain outside the page unless a SourceRef records them. Resource cards expose verification status, maintenance signal, source tier and retrieval date so a reader can trace from the topic explanation to the underlying evidence.
Topic membership is an editorial index, not a compatibility or performance claim. Verify each resource through its SourceRef, retrieval date, and verification status.
