Abstract:This paper presents a characterization study of the GLDT laser range finder (LRF). The LRF has long measuring range and high angular resolution. It is necessary to characterize the scanner before it is installed on our rescue robot which will work in unstructured indoor and outdoor environments. Besides examining the drift and how the distance affect the measurement accuracy, this paper also characterizes the LRF and analyzes the effect of several target properties, such as color, incidence angle, brightness a… Show more
