Vision systems are inevitable components of intelligent and automated construction machinery. 3-D vision systems are proposed to provide advanced machine capabilities such as collision avoidance, robotic manipulation, terrain mapping, and more. The range images generated by the 3-D sensors substantially facilitate robust, real-time data processing required for intelligent and automated systems. A 64 × 128 pixel imaging, infrared 3-D laser sensor is presented.
