Zusammenfassung

With the raising popularity of 3D sensors in robotic applications, e.g., RGB-D cameras or laser scanners, the demand for fast and reliable methods for surface reconstruction from 3D point clouds increases. Currently, several freely available implementations of such algorithms exist. This paper presents an evaluation of the usability of different open source software packages for polygonal map generation in robotic contexts.
