Abstract
The most primitive data representation unit in a three-dimensional Euclidean space is the 3D point itself, p i . This chapter gives a basic overview on acquisition techniques for 3D points, as well as on representation formats for collections of points in the context of mapping with mobile robots. Figure 2.1 presents examples of very accurate collections of 3D points representing objects found in indoor environments.
