متن کامل3d Modeling of Outdoor Scenes by Integrating Stop-and-go and Continuous Scanning of Rangefinder
This paper describes a 3D modeling method for wide outdoor environments by integrating stop-and-go and continuous scanning of laser rangefinder. First, range images of an outdoor scene are measured by stop-and-go scanning by using omnidirectional laser rangefinder, and the 3D surface model is generated. Next, to recover the parts that are not measured in the stop-and-go scanning mode due to occ...
متن کاملA mobile robot iconic position estimator using a radial laser scanner
Position determination for a mobile robot is an important part of autonomous navigation. In many cases, dead reckoning is insufficient because it leads to large inaccuracies over time. Beaconand landmark-based estimators require the emplacement of beacons and the presence of natural or man-made structure respectively in the environment. In this paper we present a new algorithm for efficiently c...
متن کاملSeparated Calibration of a Camera and a Laser Rangefinder for Robotic Heterogeneous Sensors
The fusion of the heterogeneous sensors can greatly improve the environmental perception ability of mobile robots. And that the primary difficulty of heterogeneous sensors fusion is the calibration of depth scan information and plane image information for a laser rangefinder and a camera. Firstly, a coordinate transformation method from a laser rangefinder coordinates system to an optical image...
متن کاملMotion Estimation from Laser Ranging for Autonomous Comet Landing
This paper describes an algorithm for translational motion estimation near a comet surface using scanning laser rangefinder data. Our technique is based terrain map generation from rangefinder data followed by terrain map alignment. The output of our algorithm is estimates of rigid translational motion and motion covariance between scans. Our algorithms have been tested using data acquired with...
