Fusion of digital panoramic camera data wiht laser scanner data

Kurzfassung

The fusion of panoramic camera data with laser scanner data will be discussed on measurement results obtained during verification tests using the Digital 360° Panoramic camera (M1) developed by German Aerospace Center (DLR) in cooperation with Kamera & System Technik GmbH (KST) and the imaging laser scanner (3D-LS) developed by Institute of Navigation University Stuttgart (INS). First the measurement setup will be presented. Here M1 and 3D-LS are used as independent individual sensors surveying the same target. Then the data sampling and preprocessing for each sensor will be explained and the problem of transforming both independent data sets into one common coordinate system will be addressed by discussing the results of the verification tests.
