According to recent research from Sweden, "In industrial applications like rapid prototyping, robot vision, and geometric reverse engineering, where speed and automatic operation are important, an industrial robot and a laser profile scanner can be used as a 3D measurement system."
"This paper is concerned with the problem of segmenting the data from such a system into regions that can be fitted with planar surfaces. We have developed a new algorithm for planar segmentation based on laser scan profiles and robot poses," wrote J.A.P. Kjellander and colleagues, University of Orebro.
The researchers concluded: "Compared to a traditional algorithm that ...
