Near Real-Time 3D Reconstruction and Quality 3D Point Cloud for Time-Critical Construction Monitoring

Autonomous Navigation using a Real-Time 3D Point Cloud

This paper presents a system for autonomous navigation of a mobile robot in an unknown environment based on the fusion of a continuously updated point cloud with proprioceptive sensors (IMU and encoders). A SICK LMS100 series laser is used to generate a wide field of view point cloud which is transmitted to a ground control station for visualisation during teleoperation. The point cloud is also...

Near Real-Time 3D Reconstruction from InIm Video Stream

An efficient hardware architecture for the acceleration of an integrated 3D reconstruction method is presented, targeting demanding dynamic Integral Imaging applications. It exploits parallel processing and features minimized memory operations by implementing an extended-access memory scheme. Its reduced data throughput, thanks to optimized data utilization, makes it suitable for single FPGA de...

Real-Time Scale Invariant 3D Range Point Cloud Registration

Stereo cameras, laser rangers and other time-of-flight ranging devices are utilized with increasing frequency as they can provide information in the 3D plane. The ability to perform real-time registration of the 3D point clouds obtained from these sensors is important in many applications. However, the tasks of locating accurate and dependable correspondences between point clouds and registrati...

Real-Time Active 3D Shape Reconstruction for 3D Video

In this paper, we focus on the real-time 3D shape reconstruction of an object moving in a wide area(e.g. a dancing human). To efficiently record dynamically changing 3D object shape, the real-time 3D shape reconstruction and active tracking are required. For the real-time 3D shape reconstruction, we propose a parallel plane-based volume intersection method. By implementing the algorithm on a PC...
