3D Terrain Mapping: A Stochastic Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a novel approach for online 3D multi-resolution surface reconstruction of unknown, unstructured environments is presented. The algorithm is based on a probabilistic framework that enables the capture of the uncertainties involved throughout the knowledge gain process. The main contribution of this paper is a stochastic representation for information. We present some results obtained in unstructured environments.

Stochastic Simulation in Surface Reconstruction and Application to 3D Mapping
Three dimensional terrain maps are useful representations of environments for various robotic applications. Unfortunately, sensor data (from which such maps are built) is uncertain and contains errors which are usually not accounted for in existing terrain building algorithms. In real-time applications, it is necessary to quantify these uncertainties to allow map construction decisions to be ma...
متن کاملReal-time Rendering of Complex Vector Data on 3d Terrain Models
In this paper we present a hybrid technique that is capable of precisely and efficiently overlaying 2d geo-spatial vector data on a 3d multiresolution terrain model. The first part of this hybrid technique is a texture-based approach that is especially suited for applications that demand high flexibility since it allows the modification of the vector data through user input in real-time. This i...
متن کاملA 3D Color Terrain Modeling System for Small Autonomous Helicopters
This thesis develops a novel aerial terrain modeling system. The system is unique since it flies onboard a small autonomous helicopter and senses the structure and color of its surroundings to build accurate 3D terrain models. The system is capable of modeling terrain where current approaches are too expensive, too dangerous, or too difficult. The prototype system is primarily composed of a mec...
متن کاملVector based Mapping of Polygons on Irregular Terrain Meshes for Web 3D Map Services
In this paper we show how to efficiently integrate traditional GIS data into terrain models in order to generate complete 3D maps with little overhead for textures. The results meet the requirements for the Web 3D Service (W3DS), a proposal for the standardization for delivering 3D web maps. Our approach is designed to create fully vectorized 3D scenes that deliver the best possible quality and...
متن کاملContinuous mapping and localization for autonomous navigation in rough terrain using a 3D laser scanner
For autonomous navigation in difficult terrain, such as degraded environments in disaster response scenarios, robots are required to create a map of an unknown environment and to localize within this map. In this paper, we describe our approach to simultaneous localization and mapping that is based on the measurements of a 3D laser-range finder. We aggregate laser-range measurements by register...
