Source Code
An open-source version of SEE++ is now available. You can find SEE++ on our Github repository and usage instructions on the Doxygen webpage.
Description
The Surface Edge Explorer (SEE++) is a Next Best View (NBV) planning approach that uses a novel unstructured density representation to efficiently obtain complete scene observations. SEE++ uses point-based computations to identify boundaries in a scene observation, propose new views to extend the observation and select a next best view while proactively considering occlusions and the attainable improvement in scene coverage. Experimental results show that SEE++ outperforms NBV planning approaches with volumetric representations in terms of the computational cost, travel distance and number of views required to obtain complete scene observations.
