We present a stereoscopic mapping system for use in post-nuclear accident operations by the Pioneer robot. First we discuss a radiation shielded sensor array designed to tolerate extended cumulative dose using 4/spl times/ shielding. Next, we outline procedures to ensure timely, accurate range estimation using trinocular stereo. Finally, we review the implementation of a system for the integration of range information into a 3-D, textured, metrically accurate surface mesh.
