Abstract

The present invention relates a vertex optimization method and system using a depth image in workspace modeling, the method including generating a workspace model by scanning a workspace and modeling the workspace; generating a vertex image by projecting vertices in the workspace model generated in the scanning of the workspace; generating a depth image by expanding the vertices in the vertex image generated in the generating of the vertex image; and resampling the workspace model generated in the generating of the workspace model using the depth image generated in the generating of the depth image. Accordingly, the depth image can be generated from a vertex image obtained by projecting spatial data scanned through a 3D scanner onto a virtual wall, thereby uniformly aligning non-uniform vertices and filling gaps in which no vertices are generated.

Claims (10)

1. A vertex optimization method for a vertex generated in workspace modeling using a 3D scanner, the method comprising:

generating a workspace model by scanning a workspace and modeling the workspace;

generating a vertex image by projecting vertices in the workspace model generated in the scanning of the workspace;

generating a depth image by expanding the vertices in the vertex image generated in the generating of the vertex image; and

resampling the workspace model generated in the generating of the workspace model using the depth image generated in the generating of the depth image.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the generating the vertex image includes projecting the vertices in the workspace model generated in the generating of the workspace model onto a virtual plane.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein a brightness of the vertex image is set depending on a distance of the virtual plane to the vertex.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the darker the vertex image, the closer the distance of the virtual plane to the vertex, and the brighter the vertex image, the farther the distance of the virtual plane to the vertex.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the generating the depth image expands the vertices using a dilate function.

6. A vertex optimization system using a depth image in workspace modeling, the system using the vertex optimization method using the depth image in the workspace modeling according to claim 1 .
