Enhanced 3D Mapping for Mobile Robots: Post-Processing of Dense Stereo-VISLAM PointClouds

3D mapping is crucial for mobile robotics and autonomous navigation. While 3D LiDAR systems provide high accuracy, their cost restricts deployment on budget-constrained platforms. This work proposes a low-cost VISLAM approach using stereo vision for point cloud generation and enhances map quality through post-processing. We emphasize the collection of a dedicated 3D dataset specifically designed for benchmarking and evaluating different filtering techniques. Spectral analysis and Shannon entropy are used to detect structural patterns, reduce noise, with step-by-step visualization. The method is ROS 2-compatible and suited for resource-constrained environments, enabling accurate 3D perception from visual data alone.

Abstract

3D mapping is crucial for mobile robotics and autonomous navigation. While 3D LiDAR systems provide high accuracy, their cost restricts deployment on budget-constrained platforms. This work proposes a low-cost VISLAM approach using stereo vision for point cloud generation and enhances map quality through post-processing. We emphasize the collection of a dedicated 3D dataset specifically designed for benchmarking and evaluating different filtering techniques. Spectral analysis and Shannon entropy are used to detect structural patterns, reduce noise, with step-by-step visualization. The method is ROS 2-compatible and suited for resource-constrained environments, enabling accurate 3D perception from visual data alone.
