In recent years, depth sensors have become more and more affordable and have found their way into a growing amount of robotic systems. However, mono- or multi-modal sensor registration, often a necessary step for further pro-cessing, faces many challenges on raw depth images or point clouds. This paper presents a method of converting depth data into images capable of visualizing spatial details th...
