Outline of Final Research Achievements

Active stereo methods with a projector-camera system can measure 3D surface of texture-less objects. 3D measurement performed by the projector-camera system installed on a moving vehicle is useful for the inspection of elevated roads, tunnels, and buildings.
The purpose of this research is to develop essential technologies for high accurate 3D measurement by a UAV equipped with the projector-camera system. We have proposed a high accurate 3D measurement method categorized as the active stereo method, pose estimation algorithms by using 3D point cloud, and algorithms for determining appropriate position of the UAV in order to obtain high accurate 3D measurement.
