Abstract

In this paper we present a new open source software package for automatic generation of polygonal 3D maps from point cloud data for robotic purposes called “Las Vegas Reconstruction Toolkit”. The implemented algorithms focus on minimizing both the computation costs and optimization of the number of polygons in the generated maps. Furthermore, we present two application examples: 6D self localization and scene interpretation.
