The use of 3D reconstruction based on active laser triangulation techniques is very complex
in industrial environments. The main problem is that most of these techniques are based on …

This paper presents a coordination algorithm for mobile autonomous robots. Relying on
distributed sensing, the robots achieve rendezvous, ie, they move to a common location …

Mobile robots need to know the terrain in which they are moving for path planning and
obstacle avoidance. This paper proposes the combination of a bio-inspired, redundancy …

Measurement, inspection and quality control in industry have benefited from 3D techniques
for imaging and visualization in recent years. The development of machine vision devices at …

An active omnidirectional vision owns the advantages of the wide field of view (FOV)
imaging, resulting in an entire 3D environment scene, which is promising in the field of robot …

Flatness is a major geometrical feature of rolled products specified by both production and
quality needs. Real-time inspection of flatness is the basis of automatic flatness control …

degree panoramic stereo profilometry has been used in many fields for its large field of view.
The paper presents a panoramic stereoscopic scanning measurement system leveraging a …

The combination of omnidirectional imaging and structured-light vision technique provides
an efficient solution for omnidirectional 3D measurement. However, the existing …

Structured-light-based 3D multi-directional sensors are widely used due to their flexible field
of view (FOV), which is a significant benefit. Nevertheless, existing 3D multi-directional …

The environmental 3-D reconstruction is a strategic task in many contexts, above all, in
infrastructure inspection and vehicle/robot automatic motion. In this paper, we present a …
