Laser based people tracking systems have been developed for mobile robotic or intelligent surveillance areas. Existing systems rely on laser point clustering to extract object loc...
: Laser scanners, or laser radars (ladar), have been used for a number of years for mobile robot navigation and inspection tasks. Although previous scanners were sufficient for low...

— We propose a 3D obstacle avoidance method for mobile robots. Besides the robot’s 2D laser range finder, a Timeof-Flight camera is used to perceive obstacles that are not in ...
The paper informs about rotating line cameras (which capture images of several 100 Megapixel), their use for creating (stereo) panoramas, and how they can be used for texturing cl...
