Abstract

In this paper, we present a new parallel self-organizing technique for three dimensional shape reconstruction for mobile robotics. The method is based on adaptive input data decomposition, parallel shape reconstruction in decomposed clusters using Kohonen Self-Organizing Map, which creates mesh representation of the input data. Afterwards, the sub-maps are joined together and the final mesh is re-optimized. Our method overcomes a problem of fitting one mesh to complex non-continuous shapes like building interiors. The method allows to process unordered data collected by mobile robots. The method is easily paralelizable and gives promising results.
