SPACE MAPPING FOR ROBOTICS

P. Greguss

Abstract

In robotics, the need for space mapping means to acquire not only intensity- bound data from the optical signal, which then can be processed to become information, but also data bound to the phase of the signal carrier is of importance. The main objective of this paper is to introduce a new concept for mapping strategy, the so-called centric minded imaging (CMI) on one side, while, on the other side, to demonstrate how this concept has already been applied to robotics in a broad sense, further, which is the situation at present, and what can be expected in the future. Topics such as space robotics applications, machine vision systems for robocar guidance are discussed.
