For the analysis of images, a deeper understanding of their intrinsic structure is required. This has been obtained for 2D images by means of statistical analysis [15, 18]. Here, ...
—The CCD camera and the 2D laser range finder are widely used for motion estimation and 3D reconstruction. With their own strengths and weaknesses, low-level fusion of these two ...
Abstract. A basic task of rescue robot systems is mapping of the environment. Localizing injured persons, guiding rescue workers and excavation equipment requires a precise 3D map ...
A novel technique for multi-scale smoothing of a free-form 3-D surface is presented. Complete triangulated models of 3-D objects are constructed (through fusion of range images) a...
This paper describes an algorithm for generating compact 3D models of indoor environments with mobile robots. Our algorithm employs the expectation maximization algorithm to fit a...
