Dense Tracking and Mapping with a Quadrocopter

Abstract
In this paper, we present an approach for acquiring textured 3D

models of room-sized indoor spaces using a quadrocopter. Such

room models are for example useful for architects and interior

designers as well as for factory planners and construction man-

agers. The model is internally represented by a signed distance

function (SDF) and the SDF is used to directly track the camera

with respect to the model. Our solution enables accurate position

control of the quadrocopter, so that it can automatically follow a

pre-defined flight pattern. Our system provides live feedback of

the acquired 3D model to the user. The final model consisting of a

textured 3D... (More)

file formats. (Less)
