چکیده

A lot of plumbings exist in factories and so on. It is difficult for humans to inspect them directly. Therefore, automated inspection by robots is desirable. However, many of existing inspection robots have to rotate the camera because a conventional camera can see only one direction while a piping has a cylindrical geometry. The use of an omni-directional camera is effective for the solution of such problem. However, the shape measurement is difficult only with the omni-directional camera. Then, in this paper, we propose a reconstruction method of a piping shape by using an omni-directional camera and an omni-directional laser Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
