Summery of SLAM methods.

AlgorithmDrawbacks

EKF-SLAM(1) Difficulty to solve data association problems
(2) High computational costs
(3) Inconsistency due to errors introduced during linearization

EIF-SLAM(1) Only applicable for creating feature maps
(2) Requires the existence of features, such as point, line, and face features.

FastSLAM(1) Calculation and storage problem proportional to the number of particles
(2) Particle degradation and sample dilution
