Short description of project

Developing a system for automatic building precise digital and interpreted 3D models of the heat distribution and heat flow requires integration of a number of technologies from robotics/automation and photogrammetry, including: Thermal 3D mapping for cognition. Building and using of annotated maps will be the focus throughout the project. Based on the annotations, different context-based interpretations can be derived. Of special interest are Dynamic and life-long modelling strategies. Conventional mapping and localization approaches are extended to consider changes in the environment explicitly. Algorithms will be developed for detection and visualization of changes with respect to a reference model of the environment (automatic change detection); on-the-fly detection of non-stationary parts in scans (detection of non-stationary objects), and for the maintenance and use dynamic maps, that continuously adapt over time (lifelong 3D mapping). Sensor placement planning. Since a typical 3D scan with laser scanner takes about 3 minutes one wants to minimize the number of scanning poses to acquire a complete model of an indoor environment. We aim at finding a new method for environment exploration that minimizes the experimentation time.
