Using 3D laser range data for SLAM in outdoor environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
Robot navigation in poorly structured and uneven outdoor environments is an unsolved problem. Thus we present a SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping) approach that is based on “leveled range scans”. The method is combining 3D perception with 2D localization and mapping. In this way established path planning and 2D navigation algorithms can be used in uneven terrain without the computational costs of full three dimensional modeling. The paper describes the processing steps data acquisition, obstacle segmentation, generation of leveled range scans and SLAM with these scans. Additionally, the paper shows experimental results in man-made outdoor environments as they are typical for civil used service robots (see video).

In the simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) problem, a mobile robot must localize itself in an unknown environment using its sensors and at the same time construct a map of that environment. While SLAM utilizing costly (expensive, heavy and slow) laser range finders as a sensor has been very successful in both indoor and outdoor environments, large-scale SLAMwith cost-effective visionba...
