Efficient GPU-based Construction of Occupancy Grids Using several Laser Range-finders
Building occupancy grids (OGs) in order to model the surrounding environment of a vehicle implies to fusion occupancy information provided by the different embedded sensors in the same grid. The principal difficulty comes from the fact that each can have a different resolution, but also that the resolution of some sensors varies with the location in the field of view. In this article we present...
متن کامل3D Indoor Mapping for Micro-UAVs Using Hybrid Range Finders and Multi-Volume Occupancy Grids
Autonomous micro-UAV navigation requires techniques that allow for the accurate mapping of unstructured 3D environments such as stairwells, tunnels, and caves. As a step towards that goal, this paper presents a system to build three-dimensional maps of rectilinear environments, where the horizontal cross-section of the world is invariant at different heights. The assumption that the environment...
متن کاملHuman Localization based on Distributed Laser Range Finders
Localizing humans inside a home or office environment is vital for various service robot applications. This paper presents a novel method to estimate human locations using distributed laser range finders. First, the Kalman filter is employed on the laser data to produce a statistically optimal scan estimate. Next, Scan points in the foreground are then grouped using mean shift clustering algori...
متن کاملFeature-Based Object Detection using Multiple 2-D Laser Range Finders
Laser Range Finders (LRFs) are popular sensors used in object detection applications such as Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) and the Detection and Tracking of Moving Objects (DATMO) due to their high range accuracy, low cost and low processing demands. However, many papers use a single LRF when addressing the SLAM and DATMO problems. The use of multiple LRFs can improve a robot’s u...
متن کاملActive self-calibration of hand-mounted laser range finders
In this paper, we propose a method for self-calibration of robotic hand-mounted laser range nders by means of active motion of the robot. Through range-measuring of a plane of unknown position and orientation, the mounting parameters of the range nders and the coordinates of the world plane are estimated. Systematic measurement errors can also be calibrated at the same time. The approach is ful...
