Path planning for laser scanning with an industrial robot

Image Based 3D Reconstruction of Texture-less Objects for VR Contents

“…Systems used for 3D model reconstruction can be listed into three classes comprises of those which work with active sensor (range-based systems) [14], passive sensors (image-based systems) [15] and those which work with both active and passive sensors [16]. However, range-based systems are more costly than image-based systems.…”

Development of Registration methodology to 3-D Point Clouds in Robot Scanning

“…However, the effectiveness of this scanning method highly depends on the skills of the user and the scanning process is generally time consuming. To enhance the efficiency, the 6-axis robot arm integrated with 3-D imaging scanners has recently emerged as a technical developing trend for 3-D surface scanning for objects having arbitrary or complex geometry [5][6][7]. Both Callieri [5] and Larsson [6] presented a system for automated 3-D modeling consisting of a 3-D laser scanner, an industrial six axis robot and a turntable.…”

Both Callieri [5] and Larsson [6] presented a system for automated 3-D modeling consisting of a 3-D laser scanner, an industrial six axis robot and a turntable. The advantage of this system is that it automatically achieves the shape of the object from initial scanning and thus, if possible will scan the object using an orientation of the scanner which gives the most accurate result.…”

A Method for Automatic 3D Measurement of Unknown Objects Based on the Structured Light System

“…Zha et al [6] similarly represented the unscanned areas of the viewing volume with vectors "attached" to the boundaries of surface meshes. Several methods targeted at reconstruction have been put forward since (e.g., by Larsson and Kjellander [7] and by Scott himself [8]) these attempt to solve the next best view problem for unknown object surface reconstruction, but that do not fit structured light system. Maver et al [9] proposed solutions using max-min principle from all possible spatial position to determine the next best view.…”
