Abstract

We give a method for improving the resolution of surfaces captured with a laser range scanner by combining many very similar scans. This idea is an application of the 2D image processing technique known as superresolution. The input lower-resolution scans are each randomly shifted, so that each one contributes slightly different information to the final model. Noise is reduced by averaging the input scans.
