Abstract
This chapter covers the essentials regarding indoor
3D data, from scanning to reconstruction. It is
aimed for education and professionals. The order of
presentation is background, history in measurement
method development, sensors, sensor systems,
positioning algorithms, reconstruction, and
applications. The authors' backgrounds are in indoor
3D, mobile laser scanning, indoor reconstruction,
and robotics. In order to maintain a coherence in
the text and provide some useful tools for the
reader, we have selected to focus solely on the ICP
version of simultaneous localization and mapping
(SLAM). Regardless, this should give a solid base
for the reader to understand other
(e.g. probabilistic) indoor SLAM methods as
well. Reconstruction algorithms (starting from room
segmentation and opening detection) are discussed
with the help of abundant figures. At the very end,
we discuss future trends with a connection to the
current applications and propose some exercise
questions for students.
