Project description
Third-cycle subject: Computer Science
In this doctoral project, fully funded by the national research program WASP (wasp-sweden.se), we plan to study the problem of autonomously generating, refining and manipulating dense 3D models. We will combine machine learning techniques for semantic and object level perception with traditional sensor-based robot mapping. The distinguishing feature of this project is that we will treat geometry and semantics jointly to form an overall more accurate and complete map and to allow the model to be edited interactively. The vision of the project is a mapping framework that allows for autonomous creation of 3D models that support, for example, VR type applications. We will take a combined bottom-up and top-down approach. The starting point will be to generate a dense 3D model of the scene using real sensor data.
