Return detection for outdoor active triangulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Active triangulation is a well-established technique for collecting range data. Use of low-power systems in environments with high ambient light is motivated by considerations of price, portability and eye safety. However, when environment light is high, detection of laser return can be challenging. A method combining filtering of specialized low-level features with dynamic programming is proposed. Results are achieved in these challenging conditions comparable to results achieved with current techniques under ideal conditions.

Path Planning for Mobile Robots Operating in Outdoor Environments Using Map Overlay and Triangular Decomposition
This paper addresses the mobile robot motion planning problem in outdoor environments, which are large, sparsely occupied workspaces with uneven terrains. We present results in path planning using an efficient discretization method based on Constrained Delaunay Triangulation (CDT) and classical graph searching algorithms. CDT has been proven to be a good method for representing complex shaped o...
متن کاملPedestrian Detection in Infrared Outdoor Images Based on Atmospheric Situation Estimation
Observation in absolute darkness and daytime under every atmospheric situation is one of the advantages of thermal imaging systems. In spite of increasing trend of using these systems, there are still lots of difficulties in analysing thermal images due to the variable features of pedestrians and atmospheric situations. In this paper an efficient method is proposed for detecting pedestrians in ...

متن کاملSurface Reconstruction from Multi - View Stereo of Large - Scale Outdoor Scenes
—This article describes an original method to reconstruct a 3D scene from a sequence of images. Our approach uses both the dense 3D point cloud extracted by multi-view stereovision and the calibrated images. It combines depth-maps construction in the image planes with surface reconstruction through restricted Delaunay triangulation. The method may handle very large scale outdoor scenes. Its acc...
متن کاملPlane Detection from Monocular Image Sequences
Planes are important geometric features and can be used in a wide range of applications. This work aims to illustrate a homography-based method to detect planes using the affine model. Using two image frames from a monocular sequence, a set of match pairs of interest points is obtained using Harris corner detector combined with the Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) as local descriptor. A...
