Towards a Vision System for a Domestic Robot
Proceedings of IEEE Systems Man and Cybernetics Conference - SMC, 1995We discuss a way to set up a reliable 3D office scene recognition and interpretation scheme for a home robot using artificial vision only. It is a very difficult problem which has been studied by numerous scientists for many years. We do not pretend to describe the solution of this problem in the present paper, but simply to express our state of mind ...
