contents This article presents a comparative analysis of g2o and Ceres solvers in enhancing scan matching performance within the Cartographer framework. Cartographer, a widely-used library for Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM), relies on optimization algorithms to refine pose estimates and improve map accuracy. The research aims to evaluate the performance, efficiency, and accuracy of the g2o solver in comparison to the Ceres solver, which is the default in Cartographer. In our experiments comparing Ceres and g2o within Cartographer, Ceres outperformed g2o in terms of speed, convergence efficiency, and overall map clarity. Ceres required fewer iterations and less time to converge, producing more accurate and well-defined maps, especially in real-world mapping scenarios with the AgileX LIMO robot. However, g2o excelled in localized obstacle detection, highlighting its value in specific situations.
