This organization aims at providing a modern visual SLAM framework aimed at researchers and rapid prototypers. SLAM-MER supports both full map creation and lightweight localization, allowing teams to evaluate new modules.

• SLAM-MER is a fresh, modular open-source visual SLAM pipeline for researchers, licensed AGPL-3.0-or-later.
• It combines classical 3D geometry methods (fast, robust, and accurate) with data-driven methods for depth priors and image processing.
• The project is part of a joint effort between Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories (MERL) and Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, targeting both full SLAM and localization-only setups.
