Detection and Localization of Multiple Objects
Stefan Zickler, Manuela Veloso · 2006
Being able to identify and localize objects is an important requirement for various humanoid robot applications. In this paper we present a method which uses PCA-SIFT in combination with a clustered voting scheme to achieve detection and localization of multiple objects in real-time video data. Our approach provides robustness against constraints that are common for humanoid vision systems such as perspective changes, partial occlusion, and motion blurring. We analyze and evaluate the performance of our method in two concrete humanoid test-scenarios
