SLAM Adversarial Lab: An Extensible Framework for Visual SLAM Robustness Evaluation under Adverse Conditions

arXiv:2603.17165v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We present SAL (SLAM Adversarial Lab), a modular framework for evaluating visual SLAM systems under adversarial conditions such as fog and rain. SAL represents each adversarial condition as a perturbation that transforms an existing dataset into an adversarial dataset. When transforming a dataset, SAL supports severity levels using easily-interpretable real-world units such as meters for fog visibility. SAL's extensible architecture decouples datasets, perturbations, and SLAM algorithms through common interfaces, so users can add new components without rewriting integration code. Moreover, SAL includes a search procedure that finds the severity level of a perturbation at which a SLAM system fails. To showcase the capabilities of SAL, our evaluation integrates seven SLAM algorithms and evaluates them across three datasets under weather, camera, and video transport perturbations.
