چکیده
In November of 1998, an expedition from Carnegie Mellon University travelled to the Patriot Hills, Antarctica. The purpose of the expedition was to demonstrate autonomous navigation and robotic classi cation of meteorites and the characterization of various robotics technologies in a harsh, polar setting. This paper presents early results of experiments performed on this expedition with CCD cameras and laser range nders. It evaluates the ability of these sensors to characterize polar terrain. The e ect of weather on this characterization is also analyzed. The paper concludes with a discussion on the suitability of these sensors for Antarctic mobile robots.

متن کاملBuilding 3d Maps with Semantic Elements Integrating 2d Laser, Stereo Vision and Imu on a Mobile Robot
Building 3D models is important in many applications, ranging from virtual visits of historical buildings, game and entertainment, to risk analysis in partially collapsed buildings. This task is performed at different scales: city, buildings, indoor environments, objects and using different sensors: cameras, 2D and 3D laser, etc. Moreover, different map representation have been considered: metr...
متن کاملGlucose-Sensitive Holographic (Bio)Sensors: Fundamentals and Applications
Nowadays sensors and especially biosensors play an important role in medical diagnosis and detection of food and environment contaminations. Biosensors’ facilities have been improved significantly by using technologies such as surface plasmon resonance, microfluidics, laser, and electrochemistry. These technologies are now available on chips in micro- and nano-scale and are capable of mea...
متن کاملRGB-D Mapping: Using Depth Cameras for Dense 3D Modeling of Indoor Environments
RGB-D cameras are novel sensing systems that capture RGB images along with per-pixel depth information. RGB-D cameras rely on either structured light patterns combined with stereo sensing [6,10] or time-of-flight laser sensing [1] to generate depth estimates that can be associated with RGB pixels. Very soon, small, high-quality RGB-D cameras developed for computer gaming and home entertainment ...
متن کاملEffect of Conventional in-Office Bleaching and Laser Assisted Bleaching at Two Different Wavelengths on Color Stability of Glass-Ionomers
Background and Aim: Bleaching can improve the color of restorative materials and resolve problems related to discoloration or color mismatch. This study evaluated the effect of in-office bleaching method in conjunction with two different laser wavelengths on color change of two types of glass-ionomer restorative materials (light-cure and self-cure). Materials and Methods: In this experimenta...
