This paper introduces a solution for laser scanning system, which utilizes machine vision technology. It includes algorithm for positioning and matrix for scanning control. The system can be used to detect an object and laser mark on specific position. This work explains how to use one CCD to catch an object’s position variation relative to a reference point, and how to translate the different coordination systems for laser scanner etc.

In order to solve the automation of 3D indoor mapping task, a low cost multi-sensor robot laser scanning system is proposed in this paper. The multiple-sensor robot laser scanning system includes a panorama camera, a laser scanner, and an inertial measurement unit and etc., which are calibrated and synchronized together to achieve simultaneously collection of 3D indoor data. Experiments are undertaken in a typical indoor scene and the data generated by the proposed system are compared with ground truth data collected by a TLS scanner showing an accuracy of 99.2% below 0.25 meter, which explains the applicability and precision of the system in indoor mapping applications.

Abstract. Accurate registration of sparse sequential point clouds data frames acquired by a 3D light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensor like VLP-16 is a prerequisite for the back-end optimization of general LiDAR SLAM algorithms to achieve a globally consistent map. This process is also called LiDAR odometry. Aiming to achieve lower drift and robust LiDAR odometry in less structured outdoor scene using a low-cost wheeled robot-borne laser scanning system, a segment-based sampling strategy for LiDAR odometry is proposed in this paper. Proposed method was tested in two typical less structured outdoor scenes and compared with other two state of the art methods. The results reveal that the proposed method achieves lower drift and significantly outperform the state of the art.

AbstractIn recent years, kinematic laser scanning has become increasingly popular because it offers many benefits compared to static laser scanning. The advantages include both saving of time in the georeferencing and a more favorable scanning geometry. Often mobile laser scanning systems are installed on wheeled platforms, which may not reach all parts of the object. Hence, there is an interest in the development of portable systems, which remain operational even in inaccessible areas. The development of such a portable laser scanning system is presented in this paper. It consists of a lightweight direct georeferencing unit for the position and attitude determination and a small low-cost 2D laser scanner. This setup provides advantages over existing portable systems that employ heavy and expensive 3D laser scanners in a profiling mode.A special emphasis is placed on the system calibration, i. e. the determination of the transformation between the coordinate frames of the direct georeferencing unit and the 2D laser scanner. To this end, a calibration field is used, which consists of differently orientated georeferenced planar surfaces, leading to estimates for the lever arms and boresight angles with an accuracy of mm and one-tenth of a degree. Finally, point clouds of the mobile laser scanning system are compared with georeferenced point clouds of a high-precision 3D laser scanner. Accordingly, the accuracy of the system is in the order of cm to dm. This is in good agreement with the expected accuracy, which has been derived from the error propagation of previously estimated variance components.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Aiming to accomplish automatic and real-time three-dimensional mapping in both indoor and outdoor scenes, a low-cost wheeled robot-borne laser scanning system is proposed in this paper. The system includes a laser scanner, an inertial measurement unit, a modified turtlebot3 two-wheel differential chassis and etc. To achieve a globally consistent map, the system performs global trajectory optimization after detecting the loop closure. Experiments are undertaken in two typical indoor/outdoor scenes that is an underground car park and a road environment in the campus of Wuhan University. The point clouds acquired by the proposed system are quantitatively evaluated by comparing the derived point clouds with the ground truth data collected by a RIEGL VZ 400 laser scanner. The results present an accuracy of 90% points below 0.1 meter error in the tested scene, showing that its applicability and potential in indoor and mapping applications.</p>
