3D Point Cloud Completion from 2.5D Data

The tactile internet can be described as the next step of the internet. It can empower people, adding physical interactions to what normally is just an audiovisual experience.<br/>It however does need ultra-low latency. <br/>A solution to having delays can be found in environment simulation.<br/>This paper describes a way to find the correct...

Performance analysis of Simultaneous Localization and Mapping to reconstruct aircraft engines in 3D

Proper maintenance and inspection of aircraft and their engines is important for society. These engine inspections are performed using borescopes of which the footage is manually analysed. Having the opportunity to reconstruct a 3D model of the rotors would ease the inspection and introduce the possibility to automate the process. Monocular SLAM...

Evaluating Structure-from-Motion on shiny and non-textured surfaces in borescope videos

To aid in damage assessment, creating 3D reconstruction from borescope videos of jet engines could be very beneficial. However, jet engines often have shiny and non-textured surfaces, and the performance of 3D reconstruction methods is unknown in this case. This paper aims to qualitatively and quantitatively evaluate Structure from Motion (SfM)...

Ground Truth for Evaluating 3D Reconstruction of Jet Engines

With 3D reconstruction from borescope videos of jet engines, inspections can be made more efficient. Being able to reconstruct 3D models of the jet engines potentially contributes to making the inspections autonomous. Methods that will be used for this reconstruction require to be evaluated to ensure the accuracy of the 3D models that they...
