Course detail

Reconstruction and Analysis of 3D Scenes

FSI-SR0-AAcad. year: 2022/2023

The subject concerns the reconstruction and analysis of 3D scenes that are based on point clouds. This research area is important in the reverse engineering, robotics, geography and autonomous traffic systems. First part of the lectures deals with the data acquisition types and algorithms as registration, edge detection, feature extraction. In laboratory we make the measurement with optical scanner ATOS and other hand scanners. We will process the point cloud with software GOM inspect and Rhinoceros. We will also work with 3D printer Voxelizer.
We will use Arduino Engineering Kit for testing of proposed algorithms.
Students prepare their own implementation of some of the algorithm in the last lectures of semester.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will learn about the point clouds, its acquisition (3D scanning), usage (3D printing, Arduino scene analysis) and post-processing (edge or object detection, registration).

Prerequisites

elementary knowledge of mathematical analysis and algebra (matrix, derivative), computer graphics, the recommended is the knowledge of programming language (C, C++, Pascal, atd) or programm (e.g. Matlab).

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The lectures are the based on the presentation and programming of the point cloud processing methods. Two lectures will be in laboratory on the optical scanner ATOS (calibration and 3D scanning). In the end of the semester students will work on the computer on their preferable research topic.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Students will prepare the project and present the project on the end of the semester.
