In this paper a range synthesis algorithm is proposed as an initial solution to the problem of 3D environment modeling from sparse data. We develop a statistical learning method f...
This paper describes a 3D modeling method for wide area outdoor environments which is based on integrating omnidirectional range and color images. In the proposed method, outdoor ...
Abstract. This paper concerns the exploration of a natural environment by a mobile robot equipped with both a video camera and a range sensor (stereo or laser range finder); we fo...

Visualizations and simulations in an urban environment need 3D digital maps rather than traditional 2D maps, and constructing 3D maps from multiple data sources has become a promi...
— We present a method for reconstructing 3D models of tree branch structure from laser range data. Our approach is probabilistic, and uses a generative model of a tree to guide a...
