Occlusion-Aware Visibility Coverage for Robotic Stop-and-Scan 3D LiDAR Mapping
Automated three-dimensional (3D) mapping with a survey-grade terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) is the canonical instance of robotic stop-and-scan light detection and ranging (LiDAR) mapping: the mobile platform must remain stationary for minutes per scan, so the environment must be covered with as few scans as possible....
