Multisensor-equipped backpack renders 3-D images

摘要

At the University of California, Berkeley , a portable laser backpack has been developed that is capable of producing automatic and realistic 3-D maps of interiors. Funded by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research and the Army Research Office , Avideh Zakhor and her colleagues have also developed sensor fusion algorithms that use cameras, lasers range finders, and inertial measurement units to generate textured, photorealistic, 3-D models that can operate without requiring a GPS.
