I was wondering if anyone knew of a working visual SLAM system that uses GTSAM. In particular, I'm interested in using ORB features with a depth (or stereo) camera. 

I'm wondering how people usually handle outliers in the visual feature extraction process.

Yes, Davide’s group in Zurich has SVO, very performant, Based on work Christian Forster did with us, with Luca Carlone.

We have done VO in the past, but never released. With stereo actually :-)

We are also working on GTSFM in a separate repo, which is general SfM, although it doesn’t create rival COLMAP yet - very much alpha…

Best!

A good reference example is Kimera by Luca Carlone's group: https://github.com/MIT-SPARK/Kimera 

They use GTSAM for their back-end.
