Abstract

This paper presents an autonomous system for reconstruction of three-dimensional indoor environments using a mobile robot. The system is composed of a mobile robot, a three-dimensional scanning system, and a notebook computer for registration, observation planning and real-time three-dimensional data transferring. Three-dimensional scanning system obtains three-dimensional environmental data and performs filtering of dynamic objects. Then, it registers multiple three-dimensional scans into one coordinate system and performs observation planning which finds the next scanning position by using the layered hexahedral-map and topological-map. Then, the mobile robot moves to the next scanning position, and repeats all procedures until there is no scanning tree in topological-map. In concurrence with data scanning, three-dimensional data can be transferred through wireless-LAN in real-time. This system is experimented successfully by using a mobile robot named KARA.
