  • characterization of infrared Range Finder pbs 03jn for 2 d mapping
    International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2005
    Co-Authors: Majd Alwan, Matthew B Wagner, Glenn Wasson, Pradip N Sheth
    Abstract:

    This paper presents a characterization study of the HOKUYO PBS-03JN Infrared Range-Finder and compares it to the characterization of the SICK LMS-200 laser Range-Finder for use in indoor 2-D mapping. Many parameters that could affect the performance of the sensor including warm-up time, divergence of the detection beam, usable detection Range in the azimuth, target surface, color, and size properties, incidence angle at the target, and the mixed pixels problem have been studied. This characterization, quantification of errors, and 3-D confidence in the distance readings of the sensor is vital for practical applications. These characteristics are compared to the counterpart characteristics of the laser Range-Finder. The PBS-03JN is a cost effective alternative to laser Range-Finders in indoor environments. The sensor is attractive due to lower power consumption, and its lightweight.

  • IROS - Calibrating setups with a single-point laser Range Finder and a camera
    2013 IEEE RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2013
    Co-Authors: Thanh Nguyen, Gerhard Reitmayr
    Abstract:

    The combination of a cheap single-point laser Range Finder (LRF) device and cameras has become increasingly useful in recent research and industrial applications. While the single dot laser Range Finder can only provide depth for a single pixel in the observed image, it's cost and size can be useful for handheld devices or very lightweight robotic platforms. In this work, we propose two accurate calibration methods for determining the position and direction of the laser Range Finder with respect to the camera. Notably, we can determine the full calibration, even without observing the laser Range Finder observation point in the camera image. We evaluate both methods on synthetic and real data demonstrating their efficiency and good behavior under noise.

  • Fast annotation and modeling with a single-point laser Range Finder
    2008 7th IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality, 2008
    Co-Authors: Jason Wither, Tobias H. Höllerer
    Abstract:

    This paper presents methodology for integrating a small, single-point laser Range Finder into a wearable augmented reality system. We first present a way of creating object-aligned annotations with very little user effort. Second, we describe techniques to segment and pop-up foreground objects. Finally, we introduce a method using the laser Range Finder to incrementally build 3D panoramas from a fixed observerpsilas location. To build a 3D panorama semi-automatically, we track the systempsilas orientation and use the sparse Range data acquired as the user looks around in conjunction with real-time image processing to construct geometry around the userpsilas position. Using full 3D panoramic geometry, it is possible for new virtual objects to be placed in the scene with proper lighting and occlusion by real world objects, which increases the expressivity of the AR experience.
