TLDR
In this paper, an open-source framework is presented to generate volumetric 3D environ- ment models based on octrees and uses probabilistic occupancy estimation, which explicitly repre- sents not only occupied space, but also free and unknown areas.Abstract:
Three-dimensional models provide a volumetric representation of space which is important for a variety of robotic applications including flying robots and robots that are equipped with manipulators. In this paper, we present an open-source framework to generate volumetric 3D environ- ment models. Our mapping approach is based on octrees and uses probabilistic occupancy estimation. It explicitly repre- sents not only occupied space, but also free and unknown areas. Furthermore, we propose an octree map compression method that keeps the 3D models compact. Our framework is available as an open-source C++ library and has already been successfully applied in several robotics projects. We present a series of experimental results carried out with real robots and on publicly available real-world datasets. The re- sults demonstrate that our approach is able to update the representation efficiently and models the data consistently while keeping the memory requirement at a minimum.read more

Viewpoint Planning for Fruit Size and Position Estimation
TL;DR: This work presents a novel viewpoint planning approach that builds up an octree of plants with labeled regions of interest (ROIs), i.e., fruits, that uses this octree to sample viewpoint candidates that increase the information around the fruit regions and evaluates them using a heuristic utility function that takes into account the expected information gain.

O-POCO: Online point cloud compression mapping for visual odometry and SLAM
TL;DR: O-POCO is presented, a visual odometry and SLAM system that makes online decisions regarding what to map and what to ignore and is capable of outperforming the baseline even for conditions when the number of features per key-frame used for mapping is four times less.

Short-term UAV path-planning with monocular-inertial SLAM in the loop
TL;DR: A path-planning algorithm designed to work in the loop of the SLAM estimation of a monocular-inertial system is proposed, demonstrated to navigate in an unknown environment using the incrementally generated SLAM map, while dictating the navigation strategy for preferable acquisition of sensor data for better estimations within SLAM.

TL;DR: A system for accurate real-time mapping of complex and arbitrary indoor scenes in variable lighting conditions, using only a moving low-cost depth camera and commodity graphics hardware, which fuse all of the depth data streamed from a Kinect sensor into a single global implicit surface model of the observed scene in real- time.

Surface reconstruction from unorganized points
TL;DR: A general method for automatic reconstruction of accurate, concise, piecewise smooth surfaces from unorganized 3D points that is able to automatically infer the topological type of the surface, its geometry, and the presence and location of features such as boundaries, creases, and corners.
