This work focuses on autonomous surface reconstruction of small-scale objects with a robot
and a 3D sensor. The aim is a high-quality surface model allowing for robotic applications …

Renovation of plant equipment of petroleum refineries or chemical factories have recently
been frequent, and the demand for 3D asbuilt modelling of piping systems is increasing …

In this work, we present several heuristic-based and data-driven active vision strategies for
viewpoint optimization of an arm-mounted depth camera to aid robotic grasping. These …

The thesis Autonomous 3D Modeling of Unknown Objects for Active Scene Exploration
presents an approach for efficient model generation of small-scale objects applying a robot …

This paper presents a novel scheme for automatic and intelligent 3D digitization using
robotic cells. The advantage of our procedure is that it is generic since it is not performed for …

In this work I explore the use of active vision algorithms to improve robotic grasping. Robotic
grasping algorithms aim to find a suitable grasp location on a given target object using …

For simple pick and place tasks, a robot needs to be able to recognise objects. In order to
avoid scanning all objects by hand, an automatic modelling approach is necessary …

This paper presents three methods for the digitization of 3D objects without prior knowledge
on their shape. The first method is simple and naïve and is based on the generation of view …

Abstract Small-Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (SUAVs) provide significant advantages in
several civilian applications such as search-and-rescue operations in disaster regions, anti …

Résumé Ce papier propose trois approches itératives et intelligentes de planification de vue
pour la numérisation 3D d'objets sans connaissance a priori de leurs formes. La première …
