3 Key Differences Between Laser SLAM and Camera SLAM

Laser SLAM works in total darkness Laser SLAM uses spinning laser beams to measure distances, so it functions perfectly without any light.

Camera SLAM needs visible light Camera SLAM relies on visible landmarks and fails or becomes unreliable in low-light or dark conditions.

Camera SLAM is sensitive to lighting changes Sudden shifts in brightness or shadows can confuse camera SLAM, while laser SLAM is unaffected by such changes.
