Robust Real-Time Local Laser Scanner Registration with Uncertainty Estimation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a fast, robust method for registering successive laser rangefinder scans. Correspondences between the current scan and previous scans are determined. Gaussian uncertainties of the correspondences are generated from the data, and are used to fuse the data together into a unified egomotion estimate using a Kalman process. Robustness is increased by using a RANSAC variant to avoid invalid point correspondences. The algorithm is very fast; computational and memory requirements are O(nlogn) where n is the number of points in a scan. Additionally, a covariance suitable for use in SLAM and filter techniques is cogenerated with the egomotion estimate. Results in large indoor environments are presented.

Registration of Airborne Laser Data with One Aerial Image
At present, the calibration of airborne laser scanner data relies on the estimation of the position and attitude of the aircraft during the acquisition using GPS and INS systems, but also on the estimation of some other parameters: time bias, scan angle offset, etc, which usually requires the acquisition of extra data over known features: along and across the airport runway, over an horizontal ...

This paper presents concepts, methods and experimental results for estimating the scale of a trajectory that is established by monoscopic Visual Odometry algorithms for use in autonomous driving. While monoscopic Visual Odometry has been widely investigated, one of its key issues restrains its broad appliance: the scale drift. To tackle it, we leverage scene inherent information about the groun...
متن کاملRegistration of Non-Uniform Density 3D Laser Scans for Mapping with Micro Aerial Vehicles
Micro aerial vehicles (MAVs) pose specific constraints on onboard sensing, mainly limited payload and limited processing power. For accurate 3D mapping even in GPS-denied environments, we have designed a lightweight 3D laser scanner specifically for the application on MAVs. Similar to other custom-built 3D laser scanners composed of a rotating 2D laser range finder, it exhibits different point ...
متن کاملAutomatic Object Recognition and Registration of Dynamic Heavy Equipment Using a Hybrid LADAR System
It has been a challenging subject to recognize dynamic objects from a scattered work environment because large and complex 3D site data obtained by a laser scanner makes it difficult to process itself in real or near real time. This thesis introduces a model-based automatic object recognition and registration framework, Projection-Recognition-Projection (PRP), to assist heavy equipment operator...
متن کاملA concept for feature based data registration by simultaneous consideration of laser scanner data and photogrammetric images
Surface measurement of complex geometric objects by means of optical techniques, such as laser scanning or photogrammetry, requires multiple views from various stations. The data sets of the views, e.g. point clouds and photogrammetric images, are given in individual coordinate systems. For a complete representation of the objects, the views have to be transformed into one common coordinate sys...
