Fast planar segmentation of digitized data from a laser profile scanner mounted on industrial robot
نویسنده
چکیده
In industrial applications like rapid prototying and robot vision, where speed or automatic operation is more important than high accuracy, an industrial robot and a laser profile scanner can be used as a 3D measurement system. This paper is concerned with the problem of segmenting the data from such a system into regions that can be fitted with planar surfaces. We have developed a new algorithm for planar segmentation based on laser scan profiles and robot orientations. The results of the new algorithm compared with a traditional algorithm that operates on a point cloud the new algorithm shows to be more faster and effective.

In many areas of engineering, medical sciences or art there is a strong demand to create appropriate computer representations of existing objects from large sets of measured 3D data points. This process is called Geometric Reverse Engineering (GRE). GRE is an important topic in computer vision but due to the advances in high accuracy laser scanning technology, GRE is now also an important topic...
متن کاملFast Range Image Segmentation for a Domestic Service Robot
In this paper we present a fast approach to range image segmentation. The segmentation results are intended to serve as input to the perception system of a domestic service robot. In the first step “ghost points” at depth discontinuities are identified. This is followed by extracting step and roof edges. Planar patches are detected with a focus on horizontal and vertical planar structures. Fina...

متن کاملAutomatic Segmentation of Building Facades Using Terrestrial Laser Data
There is an increasing interest of the scientific community in the generation of 3D facade models from terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) data. The segmentation of building facades is one of the essential tasks to be carried out in a 3D modelling process. Since in reality, majority of facade components are planar, the detection and segmentation of geometric elements like planes respond to the prev...
