The solution of cooperative localization is of particular importance to teams of aerial or underwater robots operating in areas devoid of landmarks. The problem becomes harder if the localization system must be low-cost and lightweight enough that only consumer-grade cameras can be used. This paper presents an analytical solution to the six degrees of freedom cooperative localization problem us...

Performing the scanning of the human body by means of conventional scanners, we faced the challenge of data insufficiency. In this given paper we present a new solution to this problem, comprising industrial robots application. Our purpose was to develop a fully functional, accurate, cheap and safe 3D scanning system based on a 6DOF industrial robot applications.

The work reported in this thesis proposes several solutions to coordination control of relative motion between spacecraft in a leader-follower formation. In this framework , detailed models of spacecraft relative translation and relative rotation in elliptical Earth orbits are derived, based on the principles of Newtonian mechanics and Euler's moment equation, and subsequently collected in one ...

In this paper we propose a 6DOF tracking system combining UltraWideband measurements with low-cost MEMS inertial measurements. A tightly coupled system is developed which estimates position as well as orientation of the sensor-unit while being reliable in case of multipath e ects and NLOS conditions. The experimental results show robust and continuous tracking in a realistic indoor positioning ...

The existing five degree of freedom HITS sensor used to measure head accelerations is incapable of measuring rotational head acceleration about the z-axis. A new six degree of freedom (6DOF) sensor has been developed capable of measuring linear and rotational accelerations for each axis. The 6DOF sensor consists of 12 accelerometers that integrate into football helmets and communicate wirelessl...

Various techniques have been proposed for virtual 3D user interfaces. They are roughly classified into two categories, virtual 3D manipulation, and virtual 3D navigation. In this paper, we present a virtual 3D/6DOF manipulation system using conventional 2D pointing device, such as a mouse with single button.

We seek to predict the 6 degree-of-freedom (6DoF) pose of a query photograph with respect large indoor 3D map. The contributions this work are three-fold. First, we develop new large-scale visual localization method targeted for spaces. proceeds along three steps: (i) efficient retrieval candidate poses that scales environments, (ii) estimation using dense matching rather than sparse local feat...

This paper investigates the problem of paint surface estimation and trajectory planning for automated painting process using a six-degree-of-freedom (6DOF) robot. We first present kinematic model 6DOF articulated spraying robot calculate coordinate transformation robot's end effector relative to base position. Then we design size joints ensure sufficient working space outer coverings automobile...

This work introduces RadVR, a virtual reality tool for daylighting analysis that simultaneously combines qualitative assessments through immersive real-time renderings with quantitative physically correct simulations in 6DOF environment. By taking 3D building model material properties as input, RadVR allows users to (1) perform physically-based via Radiance, (2) study sunlight different hours-o...
