Amplitude Modulated Optical Range Data Analysis in Mobile Robotics
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we consider a t ime offl ight range finder which greatly reduces the correspondence and disparity problems associated with stereo ranging techniques. W e present a model for an optical range finder which is capable of detecting untrustworthy range data which results when the optical beam is split between objects of differing range and/or surface reflectivity. W e demonstrate a detection scheme for such untrustwodhy data using real optical range data.

In this paper, transistor lasers (TLs) are used as an optical modulator for generation of ASK(Amplitude Shift Keying) and FSK (Frequency Shift Keying) optical signals. Our analysis is based on continuity equation, rate equations, and the theory of discontinuity of quasi-fermi level at the abrupt junction. Our simulation results indicate that, the specification of ASK and FSK optical signals, ar...

When processing laser detection and ranging LADAR sensor data for scene interpretation, for example, for the purposes of feature extraction and/or data association in mobile robotics, most previous work models such devices as processing range data which follows a normal distribution. In this paper, it is demonstrated that commonly used LADARs suffer from incorrect range readings at changes in s...
