Abstract
A method for the simultaneous localization and mapping in 2D using a 3D scanner. An environment is scanned with the aid of the 3D scanner in order to generate a three-dimensional representation of the environment in the form of a 3D pixel cloud made up of a multitude of scanned pixels. A two-dimensional representation of the environment in the form of a 2D pixel cloud is subsequently generated from the 3D pixel cloud. The 2D pixel cloud is conveyed to a 2D SLAM algorithm for the generation of a map of the environment and for the simultaneous ascertainment of the current position of the 3D scanner within the map.
