Unified Storage for Laser Scanner Data*

The main goal of this paper is to show a way to resolve interoperability of more different laser proximity scanners into a mapping engine. The idea is to make a software layer with unified data approach to be able to access laser scanner data from different 2D or 3D proximity scanners in unified way. Presented work is a part of project with the aim to make widely accessible data for self-localization algorithms assessment in mobile robotics. All the described algorithms, source code and scanner data will be accessible on project web-page http://www.mapping.uamt.feec.vutbr.cz.
