Research Team NPM3D
Research areas of the NMP3D team are around 3D data as “point cloud”:
– Mobile LiDAR systems
– Point cloud rendering (screen-space rendering, splatting)
– LiDAR SLAM, Localization on Map
– HD Maps for autonomous vehicles
– Point Cloud processings from archeological sites / objects
– Object recognition / scene segmentation and classification in LiDAR data
– Deep Learning for 3D Point Clouds
We have multiple 3D sensors (Kinect 2, scanner FARO Focus X130, Velodyne VLP16, HDL32) and two mobile mapping platforms:
– L3D2: vehicle with GPS/IMU localization system, Velodyne HDL32 and Ladybug5
– Drone with Velodyne VLP16 and Camera FLIR Blackfly
