| Abstract | Nowadays, computer vision is very popular because it can make the machine “see” and reduce production costs. For example, instead of using very expensive sensors like laser scanners, an inexpensive camera can be used. The field of robotics is also very interesting because it can automate many kinds of redundant jobs for humans, doing them faster and better. This thesis is a part of the Autonomous Pursuit Project that is a collaboration between AIT and KMUTNB. The project assembles “robotics expertise” from King Mongkut’s University of Technology North Bangkok and “computer vision expertise” from AIT. I discuss adapting 3D reconstruction for a navigating robot in order to avoid obstacles. The 3D code is designed to be seperated from the other modules in order to reuse it for other purposes. My work is integrated with a complete system that reuses what has already been provided in the new robot framework, ROS. In this thesis, I measure the accuracy from the odometry. Moreover, the automate intrinsic and extrinsic camera calibration is implemented and test. Furthermore, 3D point cloud for obstacles is generated real time. |
