Real time texture generation in optimized large-scale polygon meshes with KinectFusion

Abstract

Large scale variants of the well known KinectFusion algorithm allow for generating on-line polygonal indoor maps for robotic applications. This paper presents a new real time algorithm to automatically generate, on top of the polygonal map, high resolution textures for optimized meshes of large scale planar environments in real time. The proposed method generates the meshes on-line without the need of post-processing, as is shown in experiments. © 2016 VDE VERLAG GMBH Berlin Offenbach.
