Object Modeling and Detection
The acquisition and recognition of 3-D models of objects are among of the most active areas of the computer vision community. With the wide availability of a low-cost 3-D camera, a new range of applications can be considered—for example, personal robotics or augmented reality. In this chapter, we make a step in this direction by showing how 3-D models of everyday objects can be acquired much more easily than before using a Kinect. We also consider the further detection of these modeled objects in new scenes, enabling new, object-based interactions with your personal computer.
The automatic acquisition of 3-D models of everyday objects has many potential applications. Just to mention a few examples, ...
