Stereoscopic Vision's Impact On Spatial Ability Testing, George Takahashi Jul 2011

Stereoscopic Vision's Impact On Spatial Ability Testing, George Takahashi

Purdue Polytechnic Masters Theses

A look into spatial ability testing tools and the variations that past researchers made to focus on key factors that affect test scores, will demonstrate the need for tuning traditional testing methods to accommodate a wider demographic and provide more accurate results. Due to technological limitations of the time, a large variety of past spatial tests were developed by hand-drawings. Within this research, the addition of stereoscopic vision is analyzed to determine the value of said changes on human perception of spatial entities.


3-D Terrain Mapping And Navigation Using A Laser Range Finder, Matthew L. Azevedo, Matthew Parilla, Kevin K. Parsons Feb 2011

3-D Terrain Mapping And Navigation Using A Laser Range Finder, Matthew L. Azevedo, Matthew Parilla, Kevin K. Parsons

Mechanical Engineering

The purpose of this Senior Project is to develop and implement a three-dimensional mapping and navigation system utilizing laser technology on a robotic platform. The sponsor of this project, Synbotics® Incorporated, currently has an obstacle avoidance system only operating in a single horizontal plane. This limits the mapping and navigation ability of the robot because objects below and above this plane are not accounted for. A three-dimensional system is needed to allow the robot to better navigate and map an area by accounting for these objects in the third dimension and avoiding collisions.
