Performance Analysis of Next-Generation LADAR for Manufacturing, Construction, and Mobility
نویسندگان
چکیده
The NIST Construction Metrology and Automation Group (CMAG), in cooperation with the NIST Intelligent Systems Division (ISD), is developing performance metrics and researching issues related to the design and development of a Next-Generation LADAR (laser radar) sensor that will enable general automation in structured and unstructured environments. This report reviews the basic physics and implementation of various LADAR technologies, describes the problems associated with available "offthe-shelf" LADAR systems, summarizes world-wide state-of-the-art research, and elaborates on general trends in advanced LADAR sensor research and their likely impact on manufacturing, autonomous vehicle mobility and on construction automation.

متن کاملSome Issues Relating to Performance Evaluation of LADARs
The use and scope of LADAR applications continues to expand as the technology matures. This growth is reflected in NIST’s experience with research into the applications of LADARs for construction, manufacturing, and autonomous vehicle navigation. However, standard protocols or procedures for calibrating and testing of LADARs have yet to be developed. Because selections of LADAR instruments are ...
متن کاملStatus report on next-generation LADAR for driving unmanned ground vehicles
The U.S. Department of Defense has initiated plans for the deployment of autonomous robotic vehicles in various tactical military operations starting in about seven years. Most of these missions will require the vehicles to drive autonomously over open terrain and on roads which may contain traffic, obstacles, military personnel as well as pedestrians. Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) must there...
متن کاملParallel computation framework for optimizing trailer routes in bulk transportation
We consider a rich tanker trailer routing problem with stochastic transit times for chemicals and liquid bulk orders. A typical route of the tanker trailer comprises of sourcing a cleaned and prepped trailer from a pre-wash location, pickup and delivery of chemical orders, cleaning the tanker trailer at a post-wash location after order delivery and prepping for the next order. Unlike traditiona...
متن کاملA Dbms-based 3d Topology Model for Laser Radar Simulation
Developing LADAR(Laser radar) is viewed to be an important technology for next generation guided weapons in many countries. However, experiments using real guided weapons are not practical and we need computing environment that can simulate the 3D detections by LADAR. Such simulations require dealing with large sized data representing buildings and terrain over large area. They also need the in...
