Three-dimensional (3D) point cloud registration is an important step in three-dimensional (3D) model reconstruction or 3D mapping. Currently, there are many methods for point cloud registration, but these methods are not able to simultaneously solve the problem of both efficiency and precision. We propose a fast method of global registration, which is based on RGB (Red, Green, Blue) value by using the four initial point pairs (FIPP) algorithm. First, the number of different RGB values of points in a dataset are counted and the colors in the target dataset having too few points are discarded by using a color filter. A candidate point set in the source dataset are then generated by comparing the similarity of colors between two datasets with color tolerance, and four point pairs are searched from the two datasets by using an improved FIPP algorithm. Finally, a rigid transformation matrix of global registration is calculated with total least square (TLS) and local registration with the iterative closest point (ICP) algorithm. The proposed method (RGB-FIPP) has been validated with two types of data, and the results show that it can effectively improve the speed of 3D point cloud registration while maintaining high accuracy. The method is suitable for points with RGB values.

SUMMARYIt is a challenging task for a human operator to manipulate a robot from a remote distance, especially in an unknown environment. Excellent teleoperation provides the human operator with a sense of telepresence, mainly including real-world vision, haptic perception, etc. This paper presents a novel virtual environment building method using the red–green–blue (RGB) colour information, the surface normal feature-based 3D-point-cloud registration method and the weighted sliding-average least-square-method-based real-world dynamic modelling for teleoperation. The experiments prove the method to be an accurate and effective means of teleoperation.

With the latest advancements in three-dimensional (3D) measurement technologies, obtaining 3D point cloud data for inspection purposes in manufacturing is becoming more common. While 3D point cloud data allows for better inspection capabilities, their analysis is typically challenging. Especially with unstructured 3D point cloud data, containing coordinates at random locations, the challenges increase with higher levels of noise and larger volumes of data. Hence, the objective of this paper is to extend the previously developed Adaptive Generalized Likelihood Ratio (AGLR) approach to handle unstructured 3D point cloud data used for automated surface defect inspection in manufacturing. More specifically, the AGLR approach was implemented in a practical case study to inspect twenty-seven samples, each with a unique fault. These faults were designed to cover an array of possible faults having three different sizes, three different magnitudes, and located in three different locations. The results show that the AGLR approach can indeed differentiate between non-faulty and a varying range of faulty surfaces while being able to pinpoint the fault location. This work also serves as a validation for the previously developed AGLR approach in a practical scenario.
