Abstract

The system here described has the capability of generating range images that include robot motion. The system has two main modules, the motion and the image generator. Motion is modeled using a Bezier's curve method. To compute a range value corresponding to a pixel image, the robot position in the coordinated system is obtained from trajec-tory generation. In this way, distortion is produced in the image, or sequence of images, as a consequence of motion. The obtained range images represent scenes perceived by the robot from a specific location or during a specified dis-placement in a very “real” view.
