Abstract

This paper presents the sensing plan of VIRTUE; an active vision system based around a VIRtual TrinocUlar stEreo-head. VIRTUE is used to build polyhedral volumetric models of unknown objects based on recovered 3-D line segments. Partial models and a viewpoint enumeration scheme are used to guide the image acquisition process and to determine ‘where to look next’. Results of the active vision recovery of a number of objects are provided as well as volumetric and surface errors associated with the resulting models.
