Coordinate multi-robotic system for image taking and visualization via photogrammetry

Abstract

The growth of 3D visualization devices, such as holograms and virtual reality, is followed by the increase of demand for 3D models. One cheap and straightforward way of creating them is by photogrammetry. However, taking the necessary photographs is tedious and imprecise, because many different shooting angles and heights are required. Also, there may be need of doing models of objects placed on hazardous environments. In this paper, our objective is to create a multirobot system capable of taking multiple bi-dimensional images of an object for further generation of a 3D representation of this object. This approach has the benefit of scalability, increasing security and reliability.
