A new type of diffraction range finder is disclosed that places the primary grating at an angle of grazing incidence relative to the receiver. The new design offers improvements o...
Laser range scanners are a popular method for acquiring three-dimensional geometry due to their accuracy and robustness. Maximizing scanner accuracy while minimizing engineering c...
Building 3D models of real-world objects by assembling views taken by a range sensor promises to be a more efficient method than manually producing CAD drawings. In this technique...
In this paper, we present a method for automatically creating a 3D model of a scene from a set of range images obtained from unknown viewpoints. Existing 3D modeling approaches re...
Due to its portability and great maneuverability, a handheld range sensor is a flexible solution or complement to efficiently digitize the 3-D shape for a wide variety of objects....
This paper compares two different local surface shape description methods. The general goal of surface shape description methods is to classify different surface shapes from range...
We present a complete data acquisition and processing chain for the reliable inspection of industrial parts considering anisotropic noise. Data acquisition is performed with a str...
A novel solution is presented to the Nearest Neighbor Problem that is specifically tailored for determining correspondences within the Iterative Closest Point Algorithm. The refer...
