Abstract

Sensor planning is a critical issue since a typical 3-D sensor can only sample a portion of an object at a single viewpoint. The primary focus of the research described in this paper is to propose a new method of creating a complete model of free-form surface object from multiple range images acquired by a scan sensor at different space poses. Candidates for the best-next-view position are determined by detecting and measuring occlusions to the camera's view in an image. Ultimately, the candidate which obtains maximum visible space volume is selected as the Next-best-view position. The experimental results show that the method is effective in practical implementation.
