Dense 3D Mapping with Monocular Vision: Bridging the Gap Between Robotics and Computer Vision
نویسندگان
چکیده
Currently, the vast majority of autonomous mapping in robotics relies on direct measurements from costly devices such as sonar, infrared, and laser range finders. Adapting established methodologies from the structure−from−motion (SFM) subfield of computer vision to data commonly available in robotics, we have created a unique toolkit, able to render visually dense 3d maps from odometrically annotated monocular vision. Though computationally intensive, monocular vision provides a low−cost, yet highly capable alternative to currently popular mapping sensors. Future research on application of our work for navigational uses hopes to create inexpensive monocular robotic systems capable of autonomous navigation.

متن کاملSemi-Dense 3D Semantic Mapping from Monocular SLAM
The bundle of geometry and appearance in computer vision has proven to be a promising solution for robots across a wide variety of applications. Stereo cameras and RGBD sensors are widely used to realise fast 3D reconstruction and trajectory tracking in a dense way. However, they lack flexibility of seamless switch between different scaled environments, i.e., indoor and outdoor scenes. In addit...
متن کاملRGB-D Mapping: Using Depth Cameras for Dense 3D Modeling of Indoor Environments
RGB-D cameras are novel sensing systems that capture RGB images along with per-pixel depth information. RGB-D cameras rely on either structured light patterns combined with stereo sensing [6,10] or time-of-flight laser sensing [1] to generate depth estimates that can be associated with RGB pixels. Very soon, small, high-quality RGB-D cameras developed for computer gaming and home entertainment ...
متن کاملEstimating Human Dynamics On-the-fly Using Monocular Video For Pose Estimation
Human pose estimation using uncalibrated monocular visual inputs alone is a challenging problem for both the computer vision and robotics communities. From the robotics perspective, the challenge here is one of pose estimation of a multiply-articulated system of bodies using a single nonspecialized environmental sensor (the camera) and thereby, creating low-order surrogate computational models ...
متن کاملTowards Monocular On-Line 3D Reconstruction
The use of visual sensing for action generation in unknown environments is an attractive option due to the great representation power of vision, but it is challenging for two reasons. The representations used in vision are often not well suitable for planning, thus requiring complex learning approaches. Furthermore, an active agent needs to make decisions on-line, without the delay of o -line p...
