Iterative Registration of 3D LADAR Data for Autonomous Navigation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes an iterative algorithm for registration of 3D LADAR data. The proposed approach is iconic in nature with suitable modifications to deal with false/spurious matches, occlusions and outliers. Experimental results using data obtained from field trials on an eXperimental Unmanned Vehicle (XUV) are presented to demonstrate the efficacy of the approach. The paper also details ongoing research efforts to determine the feasibility of employing the algorithm for real-time autonomous navigation.

Temporal Range Registration for Unmanned 2 Ground and Aerial Vehicles
8 Abstract. An iterative temporal registration algorithm is presented in this article for registering 9 3D range images obtained from unmanned ground and aerial vehicles traversing unstructured 10 environments. We are primarily motivated by the development of 3D registration algorithms to 11 overcome both the unavailability and unreliability of Global Positioning System (GPS) within 12 required...
متن کاملExperimental Results in Using Aerial LADAR Data for Mobile Robot Navigation
In this paper, we investigate the use of high resolution aerial LADAR data for autonomous mobile robot navigation in natural environments. The use of prior maps from aerial LADAR (LAser Detection And Ranging) survey is considered for enhancing system performance in two areas. First, the prior maps are used for registration with the data from the robot in order to compute accurate localization i...
متن کاملTerrain Classification Techniques From Ladar Data For Autonomous Navigation
Autonomous navigation remains a considerable challenge, primarily because of the difficulty in describing the environment of the robot in a way that captures the variability of natural environments. In this paper, we focus on the problem of extracting the ground terrain surface from sparse 3-D data from LADAR mobility sensors, including the segmentation of the terrain from obscuring vegetation....
متن کاملEvaluation of the SoftPOSIT Model-to-Image Registration Algorithm
The problem of pose estimation arises in many areas of computer vision, including object recognition, object tracking, site inspection and updating, and autonomous navigation when scene models are available. We present a new algorithm, called SoftPOSIT, for determining the pose of a 3D object from a single 2D image when correspondences between model points and image points are not known. The al...
