IEEE Standard 3D Map Data Representation for Robotics and Automation
Specifications for representing three-dimensional (3D) maps for robotics and automation are provided in this standard. A recommended format for exchanging map data among robots, computers, and other devices is defined in this standard. The representation format specified by this standard considers static maps and describes their elements and associated uncertainty independently of the geographic scale and sensor modalities used to build the maps. In particular, this standard (a) defines a hierarchy of terminologies related to 3D robot maps for robotics and automation; (b) specifies a data model for each element of the hierarchy; and (c) specifies a JSON format for map data exchange between different robots, computer systems, and devices. This standard provides formats for exchanging 3D map data between robots and devices (e.g., by transmitting them over a communication channel or by saving them on some storing devices). This standard is not intended to affect internal formats that robots and devices use to build, update, and use maps.
