Abstract: Environment perception is a prerequisite for the autonomous intelligent operation of automatic guided ve-hicles,and 3D maps are more suitable than the 2D ones for representing an unstructured scene. However,the existing laser radar-and vision-based methods both have some deficiencies. In this paper,a RGB-D sensor mounted on a mobile robot with open-source ROS framework is used to build an integrated system for the three-dimension modeling of large-scale and complex scenes in manufacturing plants,and the architecture of hardware and ROS software modules of the system as well as the scanning strategy is introduced. Moreover,an experiment is carried out to investigate the automatic continuous scanning of a region in a manufacturing plant scene,the data registration and the three-dimension modeling of the system. The results show that the proposed system meets the requirements of three-dimension scene modeling well.

Key words: mobile robot, three-dimension scene modeling, ROS, manufacturing plant scene
