ABSTRACT
Our work aims at developing an AMAS based on range images, which provide accurate, dense surface measures very efficiently. In order to acquire our own data, we have developed a low-cost, high-accuracy laser scanner capable of acquiring range images within a workspace of about 15cm3 with an accuracy of 0.15mm. A simple and efficient direct calibration technique has been
implemented. Special consistency constraints discard most of the false measurements generated by reflective surfaces (Trucco and Fisher 1994).
