Scene Analysis for Service Robots

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Towards Service Robots for Everyday Environments

Part of the book series: Springer Tracts in Advanced Robotics ((STAR,volume 76))

Abstract

A scene analysis module for service robots is presented which uses SIFT in a stereo setting, a systematic handling of uncertainties and an active perception component. The system is integrated and evaluated on the DESIRE two-arm mobile robot. Complex everyday scenes composed of various items from a 100-object database are analyzed successfully and efficiently.
