| Abstract | Camera and LIDAR provide complementary information for robots to perceive the environment. In this paper, we present a system to fuse laser point cloud and visual information at the data level. Generally, cameras and LIDARs mounted on the unmanned ground vehicle have different viewports. Some objects which are visible to a LIDAR may become invisible to a camera. This will result in false depth assignment for the visual image and incorrect colorization for laser points. The inputs of the system are a color image and the corresponding LIDAR data. Coordinates of 3D laser points are first transformed into the camera coordinate system. Points outside the camera viewing volume are clipped. A new algorithm is proposed to recreate the underlying object surface of the potentially visible laser points as quadrangle mesh by exploiting the structure of the LIDAR as a priori. False edge is eliminated by constraining the angle between the laser scan trace and the radial direction of a given laser point, and quadrangles with non-consistent normal are pruned. In addition, the missing laser points are solved to avoid large holes in the reconstructed mesh. At last z-buffer algorithm is used to work for occlusion reasoning. Experimental results show that our algorithm outperforms the previous one. It can assign correct depth information to the visual image and provide the exact color to each laser point which is visible to the camera. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
