Autonomous 3D Reconstruction Using a MAV
نویسندگان
چکیده
An approach is proposed for high resolution 3D reconstruction of an object using a Micro Air Vehicle (MAV). A system is described which autonomously captures images and performs a dense 3D reconstruction via structure from motion with no prior knowledge of the environment. Only the MAV’s own sensors, the front facing camera and the Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) are utilized. Precision agriculture is considered as an example application for the system.

Information-driven Autonomous Exploration for a Vision-based Mav
Most micro aerial vehicles (MAV) are flown manually by a pilot. When it comes to autonomous exploration for MAVs equipped with cameras, we need a good exploration strategy for covering an unknown 3D environment in order to build an accurate map of the scene. In particular, the robot must select appropriate viewpoints to acquire informative measurements. In this paper, we present an approach tha...
متن کاملIntuitive 3D Maps for MAV Terrain Exploration and Obstacle Avoidance
Recent development showed that Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) are nowadays capable of autonomously take off at one point and land at another using only one single camera as exteroceptive sensor. During the flight and landing phase the MAV and user have, however, little knowledge about the whole terrain and potential obstacles. In this paper we show a new solution for a real-time dense 3D terrain ...
متن کاملLocal Multi-resolution Surfel Grids for MAV Motion Estimation and 3D Mapping
For autonomous navigation in restricted environments, micro aerial vehicles (MAV) need to create 3D maps of their surroundings and must track their motion within these maps. In this paper, we propose an approach to simultaneous localization and mapping that is based on the measurements of a lightweight 3D laser-range finder. We aggregate laser-range measurements by registering sparse 3D scans w...
متن کاملDesign of a 3D snapshot based visual flight control system using a single camera in hover
The problem of developing a reliable system for sensing and controlling the hover of a Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) using visual snapshots is considered. The current problem is part of a larger project, which is developing an autonomous MAV, controlled by vision only information. A new algorithm is proposed that uses a stored image of the ground, a snapshot taken of the ground directly under the MAV...
متن کاملAutonomous Navigation in a Warehouse with a Cognitive Micro Aerial Vehicle
Micro aerial vehicles (MAVs), such as multirotors, are envisioned for autonomous inventory-taking in large warehouses. Fully autonomous operation of MAVs in such complex 3D environments requires real-time state estimation, obstacle detection, mapping, and navigation planning. To this end, we employ a cognitive MAV equipped with multiple sensors including a dual 3D laser scanner, three stereo ca...
