Background:

Traditional Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) methods struggle with feature-poor environments.
Initialization is a critical step in SLAM, impacting overall performance and stability.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a novel, robust monocular SLAM initialization algorithm.
To overcome limitations of feature-based SLAM in challenging environments.
To enhance pose estimation accuracy and real-time performance.

Main Methods:

Tracking structural lines for feature extraction.
Utilizing a sliding window approach for stable initialization.
Incorporating geometric constraints (orthogonal directions, coplanar lines) for pose optimization.

Main Results:

Superior accuracy and real-time performance compared to baseline methods.
Effective initialization even with sparse or unevenly distributed features.
Computationally lightweight algorithm without matrix decomposition.

Conclusions:

The proposed line-based SLAM initialization is accurate and efficient.
It offers a robust solution for monocular SLAM in diverse scenarios.
This method advances SLAM initialization techniques for real-world applications.
