Abstract
Although full 3D navigation and mapping is recognized as one of the most important challenges for autonomous navigation, the lack of robust sensors, providing 3D information in real time, has burdened the progress in this direction. This paper presents our ongoing work towards the deployment of an integrated sensing system for 3D mapping in outdoor environments. We first describe a 3D data acquisition architecture based on a standard 2D laser. Techniques for registering scans using a scan matching procedure and for estimating the errors are then introduced. We finally present results showing the performance of the proposed architecture in real outdoor environments by means of the integration of the 3D scans with dead reckoning and inertial measurement unit (IMU) informationKeywords
