There are few overlap regions of the observational data in different views because of the occluder, so the multi-view data registration is rather difficult. Through indepth analyses of the typical methods and problems, it is obtained that the sequence registration is more appropriate, but needs to improve the registration accuracy. On this basis, a multi-view data registration algorithm based on aggregating the adjacent frames, which are already registered, is proposed. It increases the overlap region between the pending registration frames by aggregation and further improves the registration accuracy. The experiment results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively register the multi-view ladar data in the obscure environment, and it also has a greater robustness and a higher registration accuracy compared with the sequence registration under the condition of equivalent operating efficiency.展开更多

Then, one approach to sensor registration based on BP neural network is proposed. Here the measurements from radar are transformed from the polar coordinate system to the Cartesian coordinate through a BP neural network. With this approach, the systematic errors are removed as well as the coordinate is transformed. The efficiency of this method is demonstrated by simulation, and the result show that this approach could remove the systematic errors effectively and the DAR are closer to real position than DBR.展开更多

The basic idea of the registration algorithm based on the skeleton points is to construct the skeleton points of the whole vehicle model and the mark points of the separate point cloud, to search the mapped relationship between skeleton points and mark points using congruence triangle method and to match the whole vehicle point cloud using the improved iterative closed point (ICP) algorithm. The data reduction algorithm, based on average square root of distance, condenses data by three steps, computing datasets' average square root of distance in sampling cube grid, sorting order according to the value computed from the first step, choosing sampling percentage. The accuracy of the two algorithms above is proved by a registration and reduction example of whole vehicle point cloud of a certain light truck.展开更多

Usually,they use a magneto-optic tool to collect the outputs of OT and EMT simultaneously,and then compare the output of OT with that of EMT to compensate the error of EMT. Although the outputs of EMT and OT can be matched each other by using a time stamp which denotes when the acquirement command is sent,but the accuracy will decrease if the tool moves faster for the errors of the time stamp itself. A rapid method for compensating EMT output error is proposed. A particular scan mode of the magneto-optic tool is designed for collecting EMT and OT outputs,and a data registration method is proposed to match the outputs of EMT and OT. The simulated results show that the output error of EMT can be decreased efficiently and the accuracy of the compensation can be improved by about 15% compared with that of the existing methods.展开更多
