Combining depth and intensity images to produce enhanced object detection for use in a robotic colony
Robotic colonies that can communicate with each other and interact with their ambient environments can be utilized for a wide range of research and industrial applications. However amongst the problems that these colonies face is that of the isolating objects within an environment. Robotic colonies that can isolate objects within the environment can not only map that environment in de-tail, but interact with that ambient space. Many object recognition techniques ex-ist, however these are often complex and computationally expensive, leading to overly complex implementations. In this paper a simple model is proposed to isolate objects, these can then be recognize and tagged. The model will be using 2D and 3D perspectives of the perceptual data to produce a probability map of the outline of an object, therefore addressing the defects that exist with 2D and 3D image techniques. Some of the defects that will be addressed are; low level illumination and objects at similar depths. These issues may not be completely solved, however, the model provided will provide results confident enough for use in a robotic colony
Deep Exemplar 2D-3D Detection by Adapting from Real to Rendered Views
This paper presents an end-to-end convolutional neural network (CNN) for
2D-3D exemplar detection. We demonstrate that the ability to adapt the features
of natural images to better align with those of CAD rendered views is critical
to the success of our technique. We show that the adaptation can be learned by
compositing rendered views of textured object models on natural images. Our
approach can be naturally incorporated into a CNN detection pipeline and
extends the accuracy and speed benefits from recent advances in deep learning
to 2D-3D exemplar detection. We applied our method to two tasks: instance
detection, where we evaluated on the IKEA dataset, and object category
detection, where we out-perform Aubry et al. for "chair" detection on a subset
of the Pascal VOC dataset.Comment: To appear in CVPR 201
Implicit 3D Orientation Learning for 6D Object Detection from RGB Images
We propose a real-time RGB-based pipeline for object detection and 6D pose
estimation. Our novel 3D orientation estimation is based on a variant of the
Denoising Autoencoder that is trained on simulated views of a 3D model using
Domain Randomization. This so-called Augmented Autoencoder has several
advantages over existing methods: It does not require real, pose-annotated
training data, generalizes to various test sensors and inherently handles
object and view symmetries. Instead of learning an explicit mapping from input
images to object poses, it provides an implicit representation of object
orientations defined by samples in a latent space. Our pipeline achieves
state-of-the-art performance on the T-LESS dataset both in the RGB and RGB-D
domain. We also evaluate on the LineMOD dataset where we can compete with other
synthetically trained approaches. We further increase performance by correcting
3D orientation estimates to account for perspective errors when the object
deviates from the image center and show extended results.Comment: Code available at: https://github.com/DLR-RM/AugmentedAutoencode
Point Pair Feature based Object Detection for Random Bin Picking
Point pair features are a popular representation for free form 3D object
detection and pose estimation. In this paper, their performance in an
industrial random bin picking context is investigated. A new method to generate
representative synthetic datasets is proposed. This allows to investigate the
influence of a high degree of clutter and the presence of self similar
features, which are typical to our application. We provide an overview of
solutions proposed in literature and discuss their strengths and weaknesses. A
simple heuristic method to drastically reduce the computational complexity is
introduced, which results in improved robustness, speed and accuracy compared
to the naive approach
