SLAM6D - Simultaneous Localization and Mapping with 6 DoF

This project consists of a software to register 3D point clouds into a common coordinate system, as well as a viewer to display the scene. For the registration, different ICP minimizing algorithms can be chosen, as well as global relaxation methods, aiming at generating an overall globally consistent scene. Several formats for the point clouds are supported, new formats can be implemented easily.

Long Description
This project consists of a software to register 3D point clouds into a common coordinate system, as well as a viewer to display the scene. For the registration, different ICP minimizing algorithms can be chosen, as well as global relaxation methods, aiming at generating an overall globally consistent scene. Several formats for the point clouds are supported, new formats can be implemented easily.

Example Images

Input Data
3D scan data in various file formats.

Type of Map
6DSLAM can be used to create consistent 3D point clouds

Hardware/Software Requirements
6DSLAM was tested under gcc 4.3.2, icc 11.0 and MS Visual Studio
