3-D Data Acquisition for Indoor Environment Modeling Using a Compact Active Range Sensor*
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper investigates modeling indoor environments using a low-cost compact active range camera, known as BIRIS , mounted onto a pan and tilt motor unit. The BIRIS sensor, developed at the National Research Council of Canada, is a rugged small camera with no moving parts. The contributions of this paper are mainly in three areas: it demonstrates the viability of the use of a low-cost range sensor in the domain of indoor environment modeling; it presents the results of processing 3-D data to build a virtual environment for navigation and visualization; and, it analyses and outlines the advantages and limitations encountered when scanning large indoor environments.

متن کاملA System for Indoor 3-D Mapping and Virtual Environments
The key to navigate in a 3-D environment or designing autonomous vehicles that can successfully maneuver and manipulate objects in their environment is the ability to create, maintain, and use effectively a 3-D digital model that accurately represents its physical counterpart. Virtual exploring of real places and environments, either for leisure, engineering design, training and simulation, or ...
متن کاملFusion of Incomplete Sensor Data for Mobile Robot Environment Modeling
This article presents a complete framework for building a 3D model of a large-scale indoor environment by fusing incomplete sensor data. The incomplete sensor data is obtained by a mobile robot navigating the environment. The geometry of large-scale environments is usually extracted by acquiring a huge amount of range data and registering it. For many real systems, this data acquisition process...
متن کاملCAD Model Acquisition using Binary Space Partitioning Trees
This paper discusses an approach to automating CAD model acquisition by creating Binary Space Partitioning (BSP) trees from laser range data. Distinct views of the object, each represented by a BSP tree, are then merged using set operations on the trees. BSP trees have proven their utility in 3-D modeling, graphics and image processing, and their tree structure allows efficient algorithms to be...
متن کاملComparison of Active Sensors for 3D Modeling of Indoor Environments
3D perception has known impressive advances in the past 3 years; it corresponds to several technological improvements, plus many new development teams providing open sources. First of all, researchers in Robotics and 3D Perception have made profit of the Kinect sensor; some works were already devoted to 3D cameras, using more expensive Time-of-Flight optical devices. Another common way to acqui...
