We consider the problem of grasping novel objects in cluttered environments. If a full 3-d model of the scene were available, one could use the model to estimate the stability and...
Abstract— Robust vision-based grasping is still a hard problem for humanoid robot systems. When being restricted to using the camera system built-in into the robot’s head for o...
Shape skeleton extraction is a fundamental preprocessing task in shape-based pattern recognition. This paper presents a new algorithm for fast and precise extraction of kinematic ...
We present a low cost, hybrid active/passive 3D scanning system based on an off-the-shelf camera, a laser stripe illuminator and a turntable. The system combines the good accuracy ...

This paper presents a hybrid 1D motion estimation algorithm which combines pixel-based and region-based approaches that can give depth images from translational video sequences wi...
