Real-Time Map Building from a Stereo Camera under Unconstrained 3D Motion
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, a method is proposed for building occupancy grid based maps from sequences of stereo images in real time. The stereo camera can move and rotate unconstrained in three dimensions. This distinguishes the method from all other mapping approaches, which constrain the sensor to move in two dimensions. This freedom of motion allows to perform mapping in many new application areas. Additionally, three dimensional information can be maintained in layers or fused into a two dimensional overview of the environment. This transition is based on changeable rules rather than constraints. The method uses fuzzy logic and eliminates many problems that arise from traditional, probabilistic approaches for occupancy grids. It is shown that the proposed method performs well, is memory efficient and suitable for incremental use in real-time. The map will be used to assist navigation of a tele-operated mobile robot and real-time virtual walkthroughs, which are generated from the same stereo and motion data.

3D Simultaneous Localisation and Map-Building Using Active Vision for a Robot Moving on Undulating Terrain - Media File Included
Work in simultaneous localisation and map-building (“SLAM”) for mobile robots has focused on the simplified case in which a robot is considered to move in two dimensions on a ground plane. While this is often a good approximation, a large number of real-world applications require robots to move around terrain which has significant slopes and undulations, and it is desirable that these robots to...

Abstruct This paper presents the framework for creating of 3D map. The 3D shape and the textures of a building are acquired by analyzing moving picture taken from a running vehicle. However, in the real city environment, it is difficult to obtain 3D data of buildings accurately, because the slight motion of images due to the vehicle motion cannot be removed completely. This paper describes a ap...
