  • Method and device for real-time mapping and localization
    Patent number: 10304237
    Abstract: A method for constructing a 3D reference map useable in real-time mapping, localization and/or change analysis, wherein the 3D reference map is built using a 3D SLAM (Simultaneous Localization And Mapping) framework based on a mobile laser range scanner A method for real-time mapping, localization and change analysis, in particular in GPS-denied environments, as well as a mobile laser scanning device for implementing said methods.
    Type: Grant

  • Method for safely identifying moving object
    Patent number: 9405987
    Abstract: A non-contact identification and measurement method for identifying moving three-dimensional objects within an identification area, comprising the steps of detecting the presence of a moving object by scanning said identification area with a first eye-safe laser-based range detector system; discriminating between an object safe to be identified and an object not to be identified; for an object safe to be identified, activating a second laser-camera system and determining the speed and position of said object with said second laser-camera system; when said object safe to be identified reaches a position located in an active measurement area within said identification area, activating a third laser-camera system to acquire range data of said object.
