Stereo Perception in the Dark using Uncalibrated Line Laser

Srinivasan Vijayarangan,David Wettergreen,Srinivasan Vijayarangan,David Wettergreen

Perception using stereo requires external light. In the absence of natural light, active, structured light provides light where it is needed. In this work, we demonstrate how a free moving line striping laser can be used to perceive and model terrains. In this formulation, we do not need to know the position of the laser with respect to the stereo pair which precludes the need for calibrating the ...
