Jones, J P

This paper describes a preliminary sensory system for real-time sensor-based navigation in a three-dimensional, dynamic environment. Data fro a laser range camera are processed on an iWarp parallel computer to create a 3D occupancy map. This map is rendered using raytracing. The construction and rendering consume less than 800 milliseconds.
