The purpose of data fusion is collecting maximized information from combining the data attained from more than two same or different kind sensor systems. Data fusion of same kind sensor systems like optical imagery has been on focus, but recently, LIDAR emerged as a new technology for capturing rapidally data on physical surfaces and the high accuray results derived from the LIDAR data. Considering the nature of aerial imagery and LIDAR data, it is clear that the two systems provide complementary information. Data fusion is consisted of two steps, alignment and matching. However, the complementary information can only be fully utilized after sucessful alignment of the aerial imagery and lidar data. In this research, deal with centroid of building extracted from lidar data as control information for estimating exterior orientation parameters of aerial imagery relative to the LIDAR reference frame.

In this paper, we introduce the software/hardware system that can reliably calculate the distance from sensor to the model regardless of point cloud density. As the 3d point cloud map is widely adopted for SLAM and computer vision, the accuracy of point cloud map is of great importance. However, the 3D point cloud map obtained from Lidar may reveal different point cloud density depending on the choice of sensor, measurement distance and the object shape. Currently, when measuring map accuracy, high reflective bands are used to generate specific points in point cloud map where distances are measured manually. This manual process is time and labor consuming being highly affected by Lidar sparsity level. To overcome these problems, this paper presents a hardware design that leverage high intensity point from three planar surface. Furthermore, by calculating distance from sensor to the device, we verified that the automated method is much faster than the manual procedure and robust to sparsity by testing with RGB-D camera and Lidar. As will be shown, the system performance is not limited to indoor environment by progressing the experiment using Lidar sensor at outdoor environment.

Airborne LIDAR systems have been increasingly used for various applications as an effective surveying mean that can be complementary or alternative to the traditional one based on aerial photos. A LIDAR system is a multi-sensor system consisting of GPS, INS, and a laser scanner and hence the errors associated with the LIDAR data can be significantly affected by not only the errors associated with each individual sensor but also the errors involved in combining these sensors. The analysis about these errors have been performed by some researchers but yet insufficient so that the results can be critically contributed to performing accurate calibration of LIDAR data. In this study, we thus analyze these error sources, derive their mathematical models and perform the sensitivity analysis to assess how significantly each error affects the LIDAR data. The results from this sensitivity analysis in particular can be effectively used to determine the main parameters modelling the systematic errors associated with the LIDAR data for their calibration.

This study addresses a low-cost lidar sensor-based glass feature extraction method for an accurate map representation using statistical moments, i.e. the mean and variance. Since the low-cost lidar sensor produces range-only data without intensity and multi-echo data, there are some difficulties in detecting glass-like objects. In this study, a principle that an incidence angle of a ray emitted from the lidar with respect to a glass surface is close to zero degrees is concerned for glass detection. Besides, all sensor data are preprocessed and clustered, which is represented using statistical moments as glass feature candidates. Glass features are selected among the candidates according to several conditions based on the principle and geometric relation in the global coordinate system. The accumulated glass features are classified according to the distance, which is lastly represented on the map. Several experiments were conducted in glass environments. The results showed that the proposed method accurately extracted and represented glass windows using proper parameters. The parameters were empirically designed and carefully analyzed. In future work, we will implement and perform the conventional SLAM algorithms combined with our glass feature extraction method in glass environments.

This paper presents design for error correcting algorithm of the time of flight (ToF) detection value in the light detection and ranging (LIDAR) system sensor. The walk error of ToF value is generated by change of the received signal power depending on distance between the LIDAR sensor and object. The proposed method efficiently compensates the ToF value error by the independent ToF value calculation from the received signal using both rising point and falling point. A constant error of ~0.05 m is obtained after the walk error correction while an increasing error up to ~1 m is obtained with conventional method.

자동차의 자율주행 기술이 확대되면서 '눈'의 역할을 하는 센서가 점차 중요시되고 있다. 최근 차량에 장착되는 라이다 센서는 채널이 많을수록 피사체에 반사된 신호 또한 풍부해짐에 따라 장애물, 지형, 차량 등 주변 환경 탐색의 정확도가 높아진다. 하지만, 라이다 센서는 채널 증가에 따른 열배 이상 가격의 차이가 있으며, 이러한 가격적인 문제로 보급형 차량보다는 고가의 차량에만 부분적으로 사용되고 있다. 본 연구는 저 가격의 16 채널의 라이다를 복수개로 구성하여 동시에 신호를 수집 처리하여 하나의 입체공간으로 융합하고 이를 나타낼 수 있게 함으로써 64 채널의 라이더와 같은 효과를 나타낼 수 있게 하였다. 이를 통해서 차량 심미성의 개선과 함께 보급화를 위한 기반을 제공할 수 있다.

본 논문에서는 라이다(LIDAR) 센서와 일반 카메라 (RGB 센서)가 획득한 영상들을 정합하고, 일반 카메라가 획득한 컬러 영상에 해당하는 깊이맵을 생성하는 방법을 제시한다. 본 연구에서는 Slamtec사의 RPLIDAR A3 와 일반 디지털 카메라를 활용하고, 두 종류의 센서가 획득 및 제공하는 정보의 특징 및 형태는 서로 다르다. 라이다 센서가 제공하는 정보는 라이다부터 객체 또는 주변 물체들까지의 거리이고, 디지털 카메라가 제공하는 정보는 2차원 영상의 Red, Green, Blue 값이다. 두 개의 서로 다른 종류의 센서를 활용하여 정보를 정합할 경우 객체 검출 및 추적에서 더 좋은 성능을 보일 수 있는 가능성이 있고, 자율주행 자동차, 로봇 등 시각정보처리 기술이 필요한 영역에서 활용도가 높은 것으로 기대한다. 두 종류의 센서가 제공하는 정보들을 정합하기 위해서는 각 센서가 획득한 정보를 가공하고, 정합에 적합하도록 처리하는 과정이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 두 센서가 획득하는 정보들을 정합한 결과를 제공할 수 있는 전처리 방법을 실험 결과와 함께 제시한다.

In this paper, we propose an obstacle avoidance system for an unmanned ship to navigate safely in dynamic environments. Also, in this paper, one-dimensional low-cost lidar sensor is used, and a servo motor is used to implement the lidar sensor in a two-dimensional space. The distance and direction of an obstacle are measured through the two-dimensional lidar sensor. The unmanned ship is controlled by the application at a Tablet PC. The user inputs the coordinates of the destination in Google maps. Then the position of the unmanned ship is compared with the position of the destination through GPS and a geomagnetic sensor. If the unmanned ship finds obstacles while moving to its destination, it avoids obstacles through a fuzzy control-based algorithm. The paper shows that the experimental results can effectively construct an obstacle avoidance system for an unmanned ship with a low-cost LiDAR sensor using fuzzy control.

Mangrove crowns were delineated using active sensor LIDAR (LIght Detection And Ranging) data by a crown delineating model developed in this study. LIDAR data were acquired from airborne survey by a helicopter for the estuary of Macouria in the northeast coast of French Guiana. The canopy height image was derived from LIDAR vector data by calculating the difference between ground and non-ground data. The mangrove site in the study area was classified to three sectors by the time of mangrove settlement; Mangrove 1986, 2002 and 2003. The estimated crown of Mangrove 1986 was reliable defined for their size, number and volume because of larger crown size and bigger variation of crown height. The tree crown size of Mangrove 2002 and 2003 by the model was overestimated and the number of trees was much underestimated. The estimated crown was not for single crown but a crown group due to homogenous crown height and spatial resolution of LIDAR data. However the canopy height image derived from LIDAR data provided three-dimensional information of mangroves.
