Title
6DOF semi-rigid SLAM for mobile scanning
Abstract
The terrestrial acquisition of 3D point clouds by laser range finders has recently moved to mobile platforms. Measuring the environment while simultaneously moving the vehicle demands a high level of accuracy from positioning systems such as the IMU, GPS and odometry. We present a novel semi-rigid SLAM algorithm that corrects the global position of the vehicle at every point in time, while simultaneously improving the quality and accuracy of the entire acquired map. Using the algorithm the temporary failure of positioning systems or the lack thereof can be compensated for. We demonstrate the capabilities of our approach on a wide variety of systems and data sets.
