3D Active SLAM for Mobile Mapping of the Interior of Floating Roof Fuel Tanks

Mapping of pipelines and tanks is the first step toward providing an inspection service. Until now, this has been a manual process that is very time and resource consuming. The research proposed would allow for an unmanned vehicle to map the area without the need for humans. It will result in the creation of a hardware and software platform that can be used to map an enclosed space efficiently and accurately. The approach taken will allow for upgradeability as new technology emerges. ROSEN Group is the partner organization for this group. They benefit by having a core procedure for their business automated. Without human involvement, the safety of the procedure is also improved.
