Title
Morphological Surface Profile Extraction From Multiple Sonars
Abstract
This paper presents a novel method for surface profile determination using multiple sensors. Oar approach is based on morphological processing techniques to fuse the range data from multiple sensor returns in a manner that directly reveals the target surface profile. The method has the intrinsic ability of suppressing spurious readings due to noise, crosstalk, and higher-order reflections, as well as processing multiple reflections informatively. The algorithm is verified both by simulations and experiments in the laboratory by processing real sonar data obtained from a mobile robot. The results are compared to those obtained from a more accurate structured-light system, which as however more complex and expensive.
