چکیده

Automated 3D modeling of building interiors is useful in applications such as virtual reality and entertainment. Using a human-operated backpack system equipped with 2D laser scanners and inertial measurement units, we develop four scan-matching-based algorithms to localize the backpack and compare their performance and tradeoffs. We present results for two datasets of a 30-meter-long indoor hallway and compare one of the best performing localization algorithms with a visual-odometry-based method. We find that our scan-matching-based approach results in comparable or higher accuracy.

Indoor WiFi Localization with a Dense Fingerprint Model

WiFi-based localization is a popular approach for positioning a WiFi-enabled device in an indoor environment. Most implementations rely on querying fingerprint databases, created by stop and go sampling of WiFi signals at discrete locations used as reference points. In this paper, we propose an approach for rapid creation of a dense WiFi fingerprint database using a human operated ambulatory ba...

Texturing Long Planar Surfaces with Imprecise Camera Poses for Indoor 3d Modeling

Automated 3D modeling of building interiors is useful in applications such as virtual reality and environment mapping. Texture mapping walls is an important step in visualizing the results of an indoor 3D modeling system. Methods to localize the camera in the 3D scene often are not pixel accurate, meaning that when multiple images are used for texture mapping there are seams and discontinuities...
