Abstract
We aim at development of a small-size 3-D laser scanner for high-speed and dense shape measurement. We had developed TK scanner that can measure wide and dense 3-D shapes in our previous works. It takes from 10s to 20s for the measurement of dense 3-D shape. We would like to reduce the measurement time. In this paper, we explain our developed a new 3-D scanner named HD scanner (High-speed and Dense 3-D scanner). For speed-up, a high speed 2-D laser range finder (LRF) was developed by HOKUYO Co., and a new pan-tilt mechanical base was developed by Harmonic Drive System. HD scanner can measure a 3-D shape 6 times as fast as TK scanner. Using HD scanner, a wide view angle and dense 3-D shape can be measured within 1 sec.
