Vision systems for service robotics applications have to cope with varying environmental conditions, partial occlusions, complex backgrounds and a large number of distractors (clut...
Methods based on local, viewpoint invariant features have proven capable of recognizing objects in spite of viewpoint changes, occlusion and clutter. However, these approaches fail...

This paper describes a new technique for free-form object segmentation from a single arbitrary-viewed range image. The aim is to derive a surface description of objects that may va...
Shading analysis of an object under near lighting is not an easy task, because the direction and distance of the light source vary over the surface of the object. Observing a small...
The issue of ®nding similar 3-D surface segments arises in many recent applications of spatial database systems, such as molecular biology, medical imaging, CAD, and geographic i...
