Abstract

Reliable autonomous perception is essential for indoor service machines operating in human-centered environments, where weak textures, repetitive structures, and frequent dynamic interference often degrade localization stability. Conventional RGB-D SLAM systems typically rely on static-scene assumptions or binary semantic masking, which are insufficient for handling persistent and fine-grained environmental dynamics. This paper presents a robust autonomous perception framework based on geometry-aware RGB-D SLAM, with a particular emphasis on probabilistic dynamic modeling at the feature level. The proposed system integrates multi-granularity geometric representations, including point features, parallel-line structures, and planar regions, to enhance geometric observability in low-texture indoor environments. On this basis, a probabilistic dynamic model is introduced to explicitly characterize feature reliability under motion, where dynamic probabilities are initialized by object detection and continuously updated through temporal consistency, spatial propagation, and multi-view geometric verification. Large-scale planar structures further serve as stable anchors to support robust pose estimation. Experimental results on the TUM RGB-D dynamic benchmark demonstrate that the proposed method significantly improves localization robustness, reducing the average ATE RMSE by approximately 66% compared with representative dynamic SLAM baselines. Additional evaluations on a real-world indoor dataset further validate its effectiveness for long-term autonomous perception under dense motion and frequent occlusions.
