In this context, Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) is a very well-suited solution. SLAM is used for many applications including mobile robotics, self-driving cars, unmanned aerial vehicles, or autonomous underwater vehicles. In these domains, both visual and visual-IMU SLAM are well studied, and improvements are regularly proposed in the literature. However, LiDAR-SLAM techniques seem to be relatively the same as ten or twenty years ago. Moreover, few research works focus on vision-LiDAR approaches, whereas such a fusion would have many advantages. Indeed, hybridized solutions offer improvements in the performance of SLAM, especially with respect to aggressive motion, lack of light, or lack of visual features. This study provides a comprehensive survey on visual-LiDAR SLAM. After a summary of the basic idea of SLAM and its implementation, we give a complete review of the state-of-the-art of SLAM research, focusing on solutions using vision, LiDAR, and a sensor fusion of both modalities.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20072068","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,8]],"date-time":"2020-04-08T05:59:47Z","timestamp":1586325587000},"page":"2068","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":333,"title":["A Review of Visual-LiDAR Fusion based Simultaneous Localization and Mapping"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"C\u00e9sar","family":"Debeunne","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"ISAE-SUPAERO, Universit\u00e9 de Toulouse, 10 avenue Edouard Belin-BP 54032, 31055 Toulouse, CEDEX 4, France"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1909-5591","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Damien","family":"Vivet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ISAE-SUPAERO, Universit\u00e9 de Toulouse, 10 avenue Edouard Belin-BP 54032, 31055 Toulouse, CEDEX 4, France"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Dikmen, M., and Burns, C.M.
