Within a project whose objective is to develop a small-size 3d sensor combining a video camera with a 3d laser-based "camera", this paper describes the current status of the laser camera. The prototype of the laser camera is operational and is able to produce 3d "images" with gooddefinition at high speed. Because of size constraints, some of the control electronics are implemented in an FPGA. The video camera that will be included in the system also needs integrateddataprocessing. Consequently, the paper also describes an ongoing research about how to optimize the implementation in an FPGA of an algorithm class which is relevant both for control electronics and video dataprocessing.

The Michelangelo dynamic 3d scanner uses stereo rangefinding along with strobe illumination to capture 3d information at 25 frames per second. The configuration allows rapid motion within the capture volume to be frozen into a series of virtual sculptures. Textured strobe illumination is used for range data and plain strobe illumination for colour data. We present examples of data captured with the system along with measurements of the tolerances attained in the measurements.

Optical 3-d sensors are used as tools for reverse engineering and virtual reality to digitize the surface of real three-dimensional objects. We discuss an almost fully automatic method to generate a surface description based on a mesh of curved or flat triangles. The method includes mesh reduction, smoothing, and reconstruction of missing data. The generated meshes feature minimum curvature variations and are therefore especially suited for visualization and rapid prototyping.

We present a complete data acquisition andprocessing chain for the reliable inspection of industrial parts considering anisotropic noise. data acquisition is performed with a stripe projection system that was modeled and calibrated using photogrammetric techniques. Covariance matrices are attached individually to points during 3d coordinate computation. different datasets are registered using a new multi-view registration technique. In the validation step, the registereddatasets are compared with the CAd model to verify that the measured part meets its specification. While previous methods have only considered the geometrical discrepancies between the sensed part and its CAd model, we also consider statistical information to decide whether the differences are significant.

3d models constructed by free-form modeling using triangular meshes have placed rigorous demands upon transmission bandwidth, storage capacity and computational complexity in rendering. This paper discusses the construction and application of multiresolution mesh representation that can accomodate the growing complexity of 3d models by providing streamability, scalability and compression to 3d meshes. A novel mesh simplification algorithm is proposed to generate a series of approximating meshes. The proposed algorithm computes a distortion metric that satisfies the volume preservation and shape preservation criteria. The simplification results are shown to have better visual quality than other algorithms in literature. A new data format was proposed for efficient storage, streaming and scalable recovery with different level-of-details. The bitstream is progressively structured to minimize storage andtransmission requirement when compared to ordinary storage methods.

The development of spatiotemporal database systems is primarily motivated by applications tracking and presenting mobile objects. Another important trend is the visualization andprocessing of spatial data using XML-based representations. Such representations will be required by Internet applications as well as by location-based mobile applications, In this paper, an architecture for supporting queries on XML-represented moving objects is presented. An important requirement of applications using such an architecture is to be kept informed about new, relocated, or removed objects fulfilling a given query condition. Consequently, the spatiotemporal database system must trigger its clients by transmitting the required information about the relevant updates. Such queries are called continuous queries. For processing continuous queries, we have to reduce the volume and frequency of transmissions to the clients. In order to achieve this objective, parameters are defined, which model technical restrictions as well as the interest of a client in a distinct update operation. However, delaying or even not transmitting update operations to a client may decrease the quality of the query result. Therefore, measures for the quality of a query result are required.

We present a geometric coding method for 3d real and virtual objects transmission andvisualization. We describe object surfaces with a set of superellipsoids which are structured with a constructive solid geometry (CSG) tree. An unstructured cloud of 3d points lying on the original object surface is considered as initial data. The tree is obtained using a split and merge algorithm. At each splitting step, the set of points is partitioned into two superellipsoids. The parameters of each ellipsoid is computed with a nonlinear regression technique (Levenberg-Marquardt). This decomposition is stopped when the estimation error reaches a given threshold (the accepteddistortion). The objective of the merging algorithm is to reduce the number of superellipsoids used to describe the complex 3d object without increasing the global distortion. This algorithm allows one to merge both connected and non-connected elements of the superellipsoids set obtained from the decomposition step. The whole scheme is applied to synthetic objects.

This paper presents an algorithm for extracting planar patches by integrating both intensity and range data provided by a stereo system. For dealing with noisy and sparse range data, the initial segmentation is based on intensity information, and then the resulted regions are thresholded using depth data. This new algorithm, different from the existing ones that use only range data in the segmentation process, produces accurate planar patches that are then used for building a panoramic image-based model for mobile robot navigation.
