In April 2016 Manchester eScholar was replaced by the University of Manchester’s new Research Information Management System, Pure. In the autumn the University’s research outputs will be available to search and browse via a new Research Portal. Until then the University’s full publication record can be accessed via a temporary portal and the old eScholar content is available to search and browse via this archive.

Abstract

This article presents a novel systematic methodologyfor the detection of interest points in 3D point clouds and itscorresponding descriptors by using the information of an RGBcamera and a structured-light sensor. This is achieved by fusingSpeeded-Up Robust Features (SURF) in the image space, andhistograms that statistically represent the relationship of threedimensional geometric data around the interest points. The SURFalgorithm is implemented over an image whose pixel coordinateshave a direct corresponding 3D point, thus allowing the fusion ofboth approaches. By combining both methodologies, it is intentto define a set of interest points whose descriptors are able tomaintain the intrinsic characteristics of its constituent parts suchas repeatability, distinctiveness and robustness while remainingcompact and fast to compute. The detected points will be usefor both, localization and mapping of mobile robots in partiallyunknown environments.
