Localization and Point Cloud Based 3D Mapping with Autonomous Robots
Abstract
In this study, localization
and environment mapping application is aimed with an autonomous robot. A new algorithm
is presented to scan a larger area, to produce faster and more accurate
results. The mapping process is intended not to be affected by environmental
movements. It can be used in military areas to gain manpower in the mine area
or to model the environment in virtual reality applications. In autonomous
robot design, the horizontal and vertical angle values of the Lidar Lite V3 are
provided by two servo motors. A four-wheeled car model was used. Ultrasonic
sensors are placed on the front, right and left surfaces of the robot,
Raspberry Pi 3 and Pi Camera was placed on top. It is seen that the moving
average filter removes the noise generated on the map. The Lidar Lite V3 was
able to take measurements at longer distances. Noise generation is prevented by
motion detection algorithm. It can be used in interior space mapping,
environment modeling, virtual reality applications, military areas, mining
sector and graphic applications. In outdoor mapping, it can be used to create a
map of an area of 40 meters in diameter. The mapping process was performed as
close to the actual values by using the moving average filter and the Lidar
Lite V3. The mapping process with the motion detection system is paused and
actual position data are obtained using GPS.
