Optimal Computational Vision Pipeline (OCVP) software uses a novel algorithm that allows overlapping point clouds obtained from sensors with displaced position and orientation to be fused together in a common coordinate system with a rigorously linear solution for position and orientation parameters; thus, no approximation or iteration is required as is the case for all other known methods. These features enable very precise real-time 3D mapping of previously unknown objects.
