As I know RGBD-6D-SLAM uses surf feature to do the job, what if the room I'm going to reconstruct is empty and thus featureless. Can RGBD-6D-SLAM still able to reconstruct it ? Thank!

it depends, if something is completely featureless it is not possible to reconstruct it even for a human. I have worked in pretty empty environments and sometimes it is enough with the texture in the floor and walls. Anyway, you won't probably get very good results. I am talking from my experience
