Summary :

Integration of 2・1/2D sketches obtained at different observing stations into a consistent world (or object) representation is one of the central issues in computer vision and robotics. The resolution and accuracy of 2・1/2D sketches may be different from one view point to another, and inconsistent data between different observations may occur. This paper presents one approach to building a 3-D world representation from range image sequences for road scenes including moving objects. First, a range image is transformed into a height map representing the height information from the ground plane on which the observer is assumed to lie, then it is segmented into the ground plane and objects on it. In order to capture the resolution and accuracy of the range data and to reprsent the consistency of the height information between different height maps, we define a reliability of the height information for each grid on the height map. Using the reliability, the system finds the correspondences of both static and moving objects between different observations, and successively refines the height information and its reliability with newly acquired data, dealing with inconsistent data. We show the results applied to road scenes which are physically simulated by landscape toy models using a range finder based on the structured light.
