The three-dimensional normal-distributions transform : an efficient representation for registration, surface analysis, and loop detection

This dissertation is concerned with three-dimensional (3D) sensing and 3D scan representation. Three-dimensional records are important tools in several disciplines; such as medical imaging, archaeology, and mobile robotics. This dissertation proposes the normal-distributions transform, NDT, as a gen...
