A photo-realistic 3-D mapping system for extreme nuclear environments: Chernobyl
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a novel stereoscopic mapping system for use in post-nuclear accident operations. First we discuss a radiation shielded sensor array designed to tolerate extended cumulative dose using 4 shielding. Next, we outline procedures to ensure timely, accurate range estimation using trinocular stereo. Finally, we review the implementation of a system for the integration of range information into a 3-D, textured, metrically accurate surface mesh.

متن کاملAutomated 3 - D Reconstruction of Buildings andVisualization of City Models
This paper describes current research activities at ETH Z urich in automated 3-D reconstruction of buildings and their photo realistic visualization within the context of 3-D city models. Two conceptually diierent approaches to building reconstruction are presented: TOBAGO and ARUBA. The rst approach is semi-automatic and aims at the automatic structuring of manually measured 3-D point clouds t...
متن کاملDistributed robotic mapping of extreme environments
In the extreme environments posed by war fighting, fire fighting, and nuclear accident response, the cost of direct human exposure is levied in terms of injury and death. Robotic alternatives must address effective operations while removing humans from danger. This is profoundly challenging, as extreme environments inflict cumulative performance damage on exposed robotic agents. Sensing and per...
متن کاملRecent Fukushima nuclear detonation, Chernobyl nuclear fallout, three mile island nuclear accident and atomic bomb explosion – rethinking the effects of nuclear radiations over human health
Background: The earlier Atomic Bomb explosion in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and three worth mentioning nuclear accidents - detonation at Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, Chernobyl nuclear fallout and an accident at Three Mile Island nuclear power plant have made us more worried about the secure exploitation of nuclear energy. The central focus of this paper is to review radiation-mediated health e...
متن کاملUsability evaluation of non-immersive, desktop, photo-realistic virtual environments
This study is about the evaluation of non-immersive desktop web-based photorealistic virtual environments using think-aloud protocol and heuristic evaluation to determine three aims: (1) whether applying the same usability evaluation methodologies result in additional usability guideline categoriesidentified from the Koykka, Ollikainen, Ranta-aho, Milszus, Wasserroth and Friedrich 1999 study; (...
