چکیده

To create 3D volumetric maps of scenes with autonomous mobile robots it is necessary to gage several 3D scans and to merge them into one consistent 3D model. This paper provides a new solution to the simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) problem with six degrees of freedom. Robot motion on natural surfaces has to cope with yaw, pitch and roll angles, turning pose estimation into a problem in six mathematical dimensions. A fast variant of the Iterative Closest Points (ICP) algorithm registers the 3D scans in a common coordinate system and relocalizes the robot. Finally, consistent 3D maps are generated using closing loop detection and a global relaxation.

Salient Visual Features to Help Close the Loop in 6D SLAM

One fundamental problem in mobile robotics research is Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM): A mobile robot has to localize itself in an unknown environment, and at the same time generate a map of the surrounding area. One fundamental part of SLAM algorithms is loop closing: The robot detects whether it has reached an area that has been visited before, and uses this information to impro...

A Heuristic Loop Closing Technique for Large-Scale 6D SLAM

This paper presents a novel heuristic for correcting scan pose estimations after loop closing in SLAM using 3D laser scans. Contrary to state of the art approaches, the built SLAM graph is sparse, and optimization is done without any iteration between the SLAM front and back end, yielding a highly efficient loop closing method. Several experiments were carried out in an urban environment and ev...

An Explicit Loop Closing Technique for 6D SLAM

Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) is the problem of building a map of an unknown environment by a mobile robot while at the same time navigating the environment, using the unfinished map. For SLAM, two tasks have to be solved: First reliable feature extraction and data association, second the optimal estimation of poses and features. These two parts are often referred to as SLAM fron...

Towards Quantitative Comparisons of Robot Algorithms: Experiences with SLAM in Simulation and Real World Systems

In the past many solutions for simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) have been presented. Recently these solutions have been extended to map large environments with six degrees of freedom (DoF) poses. To demonstrate the capabilities of these SLAM algorithms it is common practice to present the generated maps and successful loop closing. Unfortunately there is often no objective performan...

Heuristic-Based Laser Scan Matching for Outdoor 6D SLAM

6D SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) or 6D Concurrent Localization and Mapping of mobile robots considers six dimensions for the robot pose, namely, the x, y and z coordinates and the roll, yaw and pitch angles. Robot motion and localization on natural surfaces, e.g., driving with a mobile robot outdoor, must regard these degrees of freedom. This paper presents a robotic mapping meth...
