Abstract

Despite autonomous navigation is one of the most proliferate applications of three-dimensional (3D) point clouds and imagery both techniques can potentially have many other applications. This work explores urban digitization tools applied to 3D geometry to perform urban tasks. We focus exclusively on compiling scientific research that merges mobile laser scanning (MLS) and imagery from vision systems. The major contribution of this review is to show the evolution of MLS combined with imagery in urban applications. We review systems used by public and private organizations to handle urban tasks such as historic preservation, roadside assistance, road infrastructure inventory, and public space study. The work pinpoints the potential and accuracy of data acquisition systems to handled both 3D point clouds and imagery data. We highlight potential future work regarding the detection of urban environment elements and to solve urban problems. This article concludes by discussing the major constraints and struggles of current systems that use MLS combined with imagery to perform urban tasks and to solve urban tasks.

Abstract

The development of service robotics continues to arouse interest in the scientific community due to the complexity of the activities performed like interaction in human environments, identifying and manipulating objects, and even learning by themselves. This paper proposed to improve the perception of the environment by searching for objects in service robotics tasks. We present the development and implementation of an active object search method based on three main phases: Firstly, image pyramid segmentation to examine in detail the im- age features. Second step, object detection at each level of the pyramid through a local feature descriptor and a mutual information calculation. Finally, the next camera position selection through analyzing the object detections accumulation in the pyramid. To evaluate the implementation of the proposed method, we use a NAO robot in a familiar place for humans, such as an office or a home. Ordinary objects are part of our database with the premise that a robot must know them before looking for an object. The results in the experiments showed an acceptable performance in simulation and with a real platform.
