Feature-based 3D SLAM

Jan Weingarten

This doctoral thesis deals with an open subproblem of robot navigation, namely simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) in three-dimensional space. The goal is to develop a system which is capable of localizing a mobile robot in a reliable way and at t ...

3D SLAM using Planar Segments

Roland Siegwart, Jan Weingarten

This paper presents an improved feature-based 3D SLAM approach for a mobile robot equipped with a rotating laser scanner. The features are represented within the SPmodel, with associated planar segment information based on decimated triangle sets. An Exten ...

Theoretical Results on On-line Sensor Self-Calibration

Roland Siegwart, Jan Weingarten

In this paper we derive theoretical results for the problem of on-line sensor calibration for a mobile robot. We consider the case of the odometry sensor. A first series of results regards the problem of understanding if a given system (consisting of a rob ...

EKF-based 3D SLAM for Structured Environment Reconstruction

Roland Siegwart, Jan Weingarten

This paper presents the extension and experimental validation of the widely used EKF1-based SLAM2 algorithm to 3D space. It uses planar features extracted probabilistically from dense three-dimensional point clouds generated by a rotating 2D laser scanner. ...

Probabilistic Plane Fitting in 3D and an Application to Robotic Mapping

Roland Siegwart, Jan Weingarten

This paper presents a method for probabilistic plane fitting and an application to robotic 3D mapping. The plane is fitted in an orthogonal least-square sense and the output complies with the conventions of the Symmetries and Perturbation model (SPmodel). ...

A Fast and Robust 3D Feature Extraction Algorithm for Structured Environment Reconstruction

Roland Siegwart, Jan Weingarten

This paper describes an algorithm for generating compact feature-based 3D models of indoor environments with a mobile robot. The emphasis lies on the high performance of the algorithm, its possible incremental use, as well as its wide applicability to a va ...
