Reliability Monitoring of Laser Scanner Based Navigation

Development of 3D Laser Scanner for Robot Navigation

Autonomous robotic systems need an equipment like a human eye for their movement. In this study a 3D laser scanner has been designed and implemented for those autonomous robotic systems. In general 3D laser scanners are using 2 dimension laser range finders that are moving on one-axis (1D) to generate the model. In this study, the model has been obtained by a one-dimensional laser range finder ...

3D Model-Based Dynamic Feature Planning for Laser Scanner-Based Navigation of Vehicles

In this paper we present an approach to dynamic model-based feature prediction and feature planning for our laser scanner-based navigation system. The system enables autonomous precise maneuvering of vehicles relative to target objects based on 2D laser range data. An adaptive tracking algorithm uses predicted features to localize the target. Jump edges, line segments, line intersections and fr...

Vision Assisted Laser Scanner Navigation for Autonomous Robots

This paper describes a navigation method based on road detection using both a laser scanner and a vision sensor. The method is to classify the surface in front of the robot into traversable segments (road) and obstacles using the laser scanner, this classifies the area just in front of the robot (2.5m). The front looking camera is used to classify the road from this distance and forward, taking...

Navigation of an Autonomous Sewer Inspection Robot Based on Stereo Camera Images and Laser Scanner Data

Application of 3D laser scanner for monitoring of landslide hazards

Landslide hazards are one of the major natural hazards. It is difficult not only to get the integrated and accurate landslide datum but also to monitor and predict the landslide. This paper introduces a ground-based laser scanner application for the landslides monitoring and its experiment in Jingyang, Shaanxi province. The point cloud gained in the test region is processed by existing software...
