Creating an accurate awareness of the environment using laser scanners is a major
challenge in robotics and auto industries. LiDAR (light detection and ranging) is a powerful …

Reflective material is one of the most popular materials in modern indoor and outdoor
decoration because of its incredible light transmission performance, good sound insulation …

Active scanning techniques using Kinect-like sensors have recently been used very
successfully to reconstruct indoor scenes [Kähler et al. 2015; Newcombe et al. 2011; …

Signals, such as point clouds captured by light detection and ranging sensors, are often
affected by highly reflective objects, including specular opaque and transparent materials …

We study algorithms for detecting and including glass objects in an optimization-based
Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithm in this work. When LiDAR data is …

As an optical sensor, LiDAR cannot effectively detect transparent obstacles in the
environment, such as glass parapets and glass doors in buildings. In this article, a glass …

Purpose An efficient perception of the complex environment is the foremost requirement in
mobile robotics. At present, the utilization of glass as a glass wall and automated transparent …

In this paper, we propose a method to detect glass in wide range for SLAM in environment
with glass. Degree of polarization from polarization camera was used to detect glass which …

The presence of mobile robots in indoor environments is becoming increasingly significant.
While there are algorithms such as SLAM that allow robots to navigate these environments …

An understanding of the spatial information for safety-related architectural features inside a
school building is crucial for effective responses to emergency situations such as active …
