environments present new problems because they are typically uncontrolled. Scene

changes may occur during or between scans due to transient objects such as doors,

cars, and people, or due to structural changes such as new construction or the re-

moval of a tree. Some objects may be missed if they do not reﬂect suﬃcient light

towards the scanner. Furthermore, viewpoint selection is often limited. An observer

may not have the capability, permission, or time to acquire range scans from all de-

sired viewpoints. These problems result in range data of substantially lower quality

than that acquired in controlled environments, as shown in Figure

1.1. We require

new advances in analysis techniques to deal with it.

1.1 Objectives

The overall objective of this thesis is to produce range data analysis tech-

niques capable of dealing with scans acquired in outdoor, uncontrolled environments.

Speciﬁcally, we attack the following problems.

1.1.1 Free-Space Model ing

Laser-range scans observe more information than just the surface sample points

reported as range data. They also implicitly observe free-space, the empty volume

through which a scanning laser passes before it reﬂects oﬀ a surface and while it

returns to the scanner. A free-space model describes the geometry of the free-space

associated with given range data. Free-space modeling is a powerful tool suited to

applications such as those we illustrate in Figure 1.2.

• Change Detection (Figure 1.2a): Changes in a scene may occur during the

time between two diﬀerent scans observing it. Range samples that appear in

one scan at a locations inside free-space observed by another scan imply that

a change occurred. This application is the focus of our free-space modeling

work. Section 1.1.2 discusses it in more detail.

• Surface Topology Inference (Figure 1.2b): Surface reconstruction from

range data and multi-view imagery is an ill-deﬁned problem — many diﬀerent

scenes may produce a given set of range data or intensity images. Ambiguities

reconstructed from range s cans.

Our objective is to infer the free-space observed by range scans of a scene and

construct a free-space model. In particular, we focus on single-viewpoint, time-of-

ﬂight scanners. These scanners measure depth along each direction by the time laser

light takes to travel to and from a surface. They imply a line-segment of free-space

between each range sample an the viewpoint, since the laser is able to pass through

the space. The goal is to combine this information from all range samples to produce

a coherent free-space volume and boundary.

1.1.2 Change Detection

In order to distinguish the static and dynamic structure in a scene, one must

detect changes that occur by comparing multiple observations made at diﬀerent

times. Change detection in intensity images has been widely studied due to its

variety of applications [181]. To our knowledge, no one has studied change detection

using observations made by a range scanner in uncontrolled, outdoor environments.

Our objective is to detect evidence of changes in a scene given two or more

laser-range scans acquired at diﬀerent times and from varying viewpoints. Figure

1.3 shows an example of the desired result. Speciﬁcally, our goal is to identify a

set of points in the scans that lie on objects added, moved, or removed over the

period of time during which scans were taken. Identiﬁcation of the points is useful

to ﬁlter data before surface reconstruction or as a primitive for object-level change

detection. Our work focuses on the data structures and algorithms to support point-

level change detection.

1.1.3 Tensor Voting

The Tensor Voting Framework [154] is a computational method for inf erence

of structure among unorganized sample points in N-D. Its theoretical foundation

lies in perceptual organization and is based on the intuition that the human visual

system prefers connections with the lowest total curvature [

104] [105]. This makes it

particularly suitable for computer vision applications, including surface reconstruc-

tion [219], stereo analysis [142] [221], motion estimation and segmentation [128]
