Abstract:
A method is presented for collecting images of static objects from various directions using a mobile robot equipped with a LIDAR unit and an omni-directional camera. A system using this method collects an image sequence for each object along with its geometric information (3D shape and position). The robot estimates its position while moving and detects static objects by using LIDAR. At each time frame, it extracts a part of the object (the surface element, or “surfel”) in the view range.' The object images are extracted from the time-series of camera images as surfel existing frames. The collected information is automatically collected from the robot. Experimental evaluation demonstrated that this method can be used to continuously collect images and geometric information of static objects in the robot periphery as it is moving.
