Abstract

This research proposes an application of a RGB Depth (RGB-D) camera system in 3D indoor mapping. In order to reconstruct the 3D model of an indoor space where the robot is located, the RGB-D camera system is installed in the robot frame to continuously capture the separated 2D image frames. All corresponding 2D points between the two consecutive image frames are firstly estimated using a Scan Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) algorithm. Secondly, all pixel coordinates of these matching points are projected to the respective 3D space based on the depth information from the RGB-D camera at each pixel. The current outputs of this stage are the 3D points in the two successive point clouds that are applied to find out the transformation matrix. Finally, the estimated matrix is used to transform the second point cloud to the coordinating system of the first one. The result after repeating the above process with other consecutive pair of image frames and point clouds is the 3D model of the navigational space. The aimed method is relatively low cost configuration; furthermore, its accuracy is acceptable with the indoor robot applications.
