This paper presents a range image refinement technique for generating accurate 3D computer models of real objects. Range images obtained from a stereo-vision system typically expe...
This paper shows how range-flow can help to estimate the elastic constants of complete objects. In our framework, the object is deformed actively by a robotic device pushing into ...
Precise digital 3D models of indoor environments are needed in several applications, e.g., facility management, architecture, rescue and inspection robotics. This paper presents a...
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...
This paper presents an overview of techniques for generating photoreal computer graphics models of real-world places and objects. Our group's early efforts in modeling scenes...
A method is presented that uses an Approximate Nearest Neighbor method for determining correspondences within the Iterative Closest Point Algorithm. The method is based upon the k...
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...
