In 1988, the concept of simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) was proposed. ORB-SLAM is a monocular real-time SLAM system based on features. It fundamentally continues the algorithmic structure of Parallel Tracking And Mapping (PTAM), improving the majority of its components, and so has a larger field of vision in terms of variance, with improved resilience and bundle adjustment (BA) efficiency. Artificial intelligence and machine learning have advanced significantly since the inception of SLMA. Furthermore, in the presence of extreme motion clutter, ORB-SLAM has significantly enhanced loop-back detection and relocation. As a result, it is evident that SLAM and ORB-SLAM approaches are highly worth investigating and expanding. This document presents a detailed chronological account of SLAM development and compares the features of several versions of ORB-SLAM enhancements. It compares two existing ORB-SLAM3 enhancement strategies in dynamic situations in particular. In addition, the article includes a perspective and predictions for the future and later stages.
