🌐 Displays, with its broad scope in display technologies and applications, offers the perfect platform for our work. Their commitment to pioneering research aligns seamlessly with the innovative essence of ARD-SLAM. The journal’s impressive metrics – a CiteScore of 4.3 and an Impact Factor of 4.1 – Index in Web of Science, Engineering Index, Current Contents, Cambridge Scientific Abstracts, Scopus, Science Citation Index – underscore the significance of this achievement.

🔍 Our research addresses a critical challenge in Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) systems – their struggle in dynamic environments. ARD-SLAM marks a breakthrough, blending global dense optical tracking with cutting-edge geometric methodologies to revolutionize dynamic SLAM.

💡 The crux of ARD-SLAM is its unique dynamic object identification technique, merging geometric and prospective motion data for effective segmentation of moving objects. This crucial development greatly enhances camera ego-motion estimation accuracy.

📈 Enhanced by advanced multi-view geometry methods, ARD-SLAM efficiently manages dynamic scenarios while reducing computational load. Our rigorous testing on TUM RGB-D and Bonn RGB-D benchmark datasets has demonstrated its superiority over established SLAM techniques like ORB-SLAM2/3 and DynaSLAM.

📊 The results are striking: an average reduction in Absolute Trajectory Error (ATE) by 86.1% and in Relative Pose Error (RPE) by 88.0% compared to ORB-SLAM3. Against other SLAM methods, ARD-SLAM shows remarkable improvements in both ATE and RPE metrics.

🚀 This research is a giant leap in SLAM technology, offering a more precise and adaptable solution for real-world autonomous navigation. We’re excited for the impact this will have on the future of this field and look forward to further developments.

Special thanks to the authors Dr. Haidi Ibrahim, Prof. Mohd Zaid Abdullah, Pan Kok Chin, Kevin Lim and Dr-Fatemeh Khozaei Ph.D. FHEA for their valuable insights and contribution.

Exciting news in the world of migration and mental health research! Our latest manuscript, “Factors Contributing to the Mental Wellbeing of Afghan Migrants in Iran During the COVID-19” has been published in the Journal of Migration and Health (Elsevier, Science Direct), now available online: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmh.2024.100211 (10 January 2024, Article 100211).

This pivotal study, a collaborative effort by Prof. Dr. Claus-Christian Carbon, Dr Fatemeh Khozaei Ph.D. FHEA, Prof. Ramayah T., Dr. Nadia Ayub and myself, delves deep into the mental health challenges faced by Afghan migrants during these trying times.

I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Prof. Dr. Claus-Christian Carbon. His unparalleled guidance and genuine support were not just instrumental but the backbone of this project. His insights and expertise in the field have been invaluable, and  fair to say that this publication would not have been possible without his contributions.

🔍 In this paper, we introduce YoloV8-SLAM, a groundbreaking approach that revolutionizes Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (VSLAM) systems. Our method skillfully integrates dynamic object identification and advanced multi-view geometry techniques. By employing YoloV8, a leading-edge object detection algorithm, alongside Enhanced Multi-View Geometry, we effectively handle various dynamic scenarios.

📊 Our extensive experiments reveal that YoloV8-SLAM significantly outperforms existing and state-of-the-art SLAM systems. We achieved remarkable reductions in Absolute Trajectory Error (ATE) and Relative Pose Error (RPE) – up to 89.1% and 88.0% respectively when compared to ORB-SLAM3. The superiority of our method is also evident against DynaSLAM, ORB-SLAM2, and DM-SLAM, with reductions exceeding 39.8% in ATE and 66.4% in RPE.
