3D and Object Recognition

•Provides more info than just visual texture

•Good for scale and segmentation

•Verification

Need a good device for 3D info

Object Recognition Pipeline

•Textured objects via keypoints [Victor Eruhimov, Suat Gedikli]

•Untextured objects via DOT [Stefan Holzer, Stefan Hinterstoisser]

•Simple 3D model matching [Marius Muja]

•STAIR 2D/3D features [Stephen Gould]

MOPED – Textured object recognition with pose

•Model: Stereo view of an object at a known pose

•Extract keypoints and features

•For a new scene, match keypoints to each model

•Run SfM geometric check to verify and recover pose

- Need texture- Need high res camera

Dominant Orientation Templates (DOT) Stefan Hinterstoisser, Stefan Holzer (TUM; CVPR 2010, ECCV

2010)● DOT is a template matching based approach

template current scene

- Template is slid over the image to compute the response for each image position- If response is above a threshold it is considered as detection of the template

DOT – Basic Principle● DOT uses gradients instead of color or gray values

template current scene

- Gradients are less sensitive to illumination changes- Gradients have orientation and magnitude

Offline Learning● Good learning is necessary to reduce false-positive rate● We try to use all available information to segment the object:

● Point cloud from narrow stereo is used to detect the table and segment the point cloud of the object

● Object point cloud is used to create an initial mask● Mask is refined using GrabCut (see OpenCV)

False-Positive Rejection

● Two more precise templates for validation:● more precise and not discretized gradient template● disparity template to compare expected with real disparities

False-Positive Rejection

● Compute error between reference point cloud and point cloud at detected position

Optimize initial 3D point cloud pose given from the detection

Directly gives object pose if model is associated with learned point clouds

STAIR Vision Library (SVL)Stanford STAIR project [Andrew Ng, Stephen

Gould]• Initially developed to

support the Stanford AI Robot (STAIR) project

• Builds on top of OpenCV computer vision library and Eigen matrix library

• Provides a range of software infrastructure for

• computer vision

• machine learning

• probabilistic graphical models

• Hosted on SourceForge

Object Detection in SVL• Sliding-window object detector

• Features are extracted from a local window

• Learned boosted decision-tree classifier scores each window

• Image is scanned at multiple resolutions to detect objects at different scales

Image Channels• Image decomposed into multiple channels

• Depth at each pixel, obtained from a laser scanner, can be thought of as an additional channel

intensity image edge map depth map

[Quigley et al., ICRA 2009]

Object Detection Features

• Learn a “patch” dictionary over intensity, edge and depth channels

• Patches encode localized templates for matching

• Depth patches capture shape; intensity and edge patches capture appearance

• Patch responses (over entire dictionary) are combined to form the feature vector

[Quigley et al., ICRA 2009]

Results• 150 images of cluttered indoor scenes

• 5-fold cross-validation

• Depth information provides significant improvement in area under precision-recall curve

[Quigley et al., ICRA 2009]

Conclusions

•Realtime, accurate 3D devices are becoming available

•3D can help in object detection for untextured objects

- Combo of visual and 3D features best

•3D is useful for verification
