We propose using simple mixture models to define a set of mid-level binary local features based on binary oriented edge input. The features capture natural local structures in the...
-- The initial resting pose of many industrial parts differs from the orientation desired for assembly. We show that it is possible to align parts during grasping using a standard ...
Parts orienting, the process of bringing parts in initially unknown orientations to a goal orientation, is an important aspect of automated assembly. Bowl feeders used in industry...
We propose a method that detects and segments multiple, partially occluded objects in images. A part hierarchy is defined for the object class. Whole-object segmentor and part de...
We analyze the problem of recovering the shape of a mirror surface. We generalize the results of [1], where the special case of planar and spherical mirror surfaces was considered,...
