Today I read a paper titled “Evaluation of Three Vision Based Object Perception Methods for a Mobile Robot”
The abstract is:
This paper addresses object perception applied to mobile robotics.
Being able to perceive semantically meaningful objects in unstructured environments is a key capability in order to make robots suitable to perform high-level tasks in home environments.
However, finding a solution for this task is daunting: it requires the ability to handle the variability in image formation in a moving camera with tight time constraints.
The paper brings to attention some of the issues with applying three state of the art object recognition and detection methods in a mobile robotics scenario, and proposes methods to deal with windowing/segmentation.
Thus, this work aims at evaluating the state-of-the-art in object perception in an attempt to develop a lightweight solution for mobile robotics use/research in typical indoor settings.
