Tracking a vehicle from a rotating platform with a scanning range laser
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes the development of an algorithm that is able to track the pose of a vehicle as it approaches a rotating platform with a number of scanning range lasers. The target application is path planning and traffic management systems that are able to assist drivers of mining trucks when parking their vehicles with respect to loading machinery (ie. swing-loaders, rope-shovels and excavators). Experiments using a 1/7 scale model of a dump-truck and swing-loader demonstrates the feasibility of the approach.

Development of a Vision System for Ship Hull Inspection
This work introduces a strategy to improve the performance of visual ship hull inspection using a Remotely-Operated Vehicle (ROV) as its underwater vehicle platform. The proposed method is aimed at developing a system that will maintain the camera viewing angle parallel to the ship hull surface. This system consists of four main units, namely, camera, laser pointers, pan-tilt platform and Carte...

متن کاملAdvanced imaging with dynamic focus and extended depth using integrated FR4 platform.
A two-degrees-of-freedom scanned beam imaging system with large dynamic range and dynamic focusing is demonstrated. The laser diode, photo-detector and the optical components are integrated on a moving platform that is made of FR4 (Flame-Retardant 4), a common polymeric substrate used in printed circuit boards. A scan angle of 52 degrees is demonstrated at 60 Hz resonant frequency while the las...
متن کاملA Robotic Indoor 3D Mapping System Using a 2D Laser Range Finder Mounted on a Rotating Four-Bar Linkage of a Mobile Platform
This paper describes our work in developing a 3D robotic mapping system composed by an experimental mobile platform equipped with a rotating laser range finder (LRF). For the purpose of obtaining more complete 3D scans of the environment, we design, construct and calibrate a crank‐rocker four‐bar linkage so that a LRF mounted on it could undergo repetitive rotational motion b...
