What is mapping in 3D?

Some autonomous mobile robots have the capability of building 3D maps of the environment in which they operate. For 3D mapping, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) require input from stereo cameras or another 3D sensor.

Different types of 3D maps

3D maps can be dense, with all visible surfaces included in the map, or sparse, using only data points that pick up natural features.
