Active Sensors for Local Planning in Mobile Robotics
By Penelope Probert Smith
This book describes recent work on active sensors for portable Android devices. The active sensor interacts with its surroundings to provide on-demand data for a particular function, and to gather and extract information as needed rather than as a public data collector. The actual operation details are hidden. The book primarily deals with active range sensors, which provide quick information for local planning, which describes the extraction of two-dimensional features such as lines, angles and cylinders to reconstruct a building plan. They are built according to the physical principles of sensors, as they largely determine the function of sensors and processing methods. Modern work is described using sonar, optical sensors and radar. The vision and sensor management sections develop the idea of ??adapting programs for effective operation in a changing environment.
