Image-to-Point Cloud Registration Made Easy with Rectified Flow-based LiDAR Upsampling

Fri, 01 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This manuscript proposes converting sparse LiDAR point clouds into dense point-cloud images with a generative model, enabling image-domain feature extraction and matching methods to be applied to image-to-point-cloud registration. The manuscript was under review when the source document was prepared in May 2026.

Slope Detection and Mobile Robot Guidance Using 3D LiDAR and an RGB Camera

Sun, 01 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This work combines 3D LiDAR and an RGB camera to detect the entrance of a slope from a distance, guide a wheelchair-type mobile robot to the entrance, and execute the climb.

Autonomous Slope Detection and Guidance

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

This system detects a slope entrance from a distance, navigates a wheelchair-type robot to it, and performs the climb. It was developed and validated on a real robot as an undergraduate research project.

GhostScanner
