ORB: An efficient alternative to SIFT or SURF
TL;DR: This paper proposes a very fast binary descriptor based on BRIEF, called ORB, which is rotation invariant and resistant to noise, and demonstrates through experiments how ORB is at two orders of magnitude faster than SIFT, while performing as well in many situations.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Kornia: an Open Source Differentiable Computer Vision Library for PyTorch
TL;DR: Kornia as mentioned in this paper is an open source computer vision library which consists of a set of differentiable routines and modules to solve generic computer vision problems, such as image transformations, camera calibration, epipolar geometry, and low level image processing techniques.

Kurt Konolige,Ethan Rublee,Stefan Hinterstoisser,Troy Straszheim,Gary Bradski,Hauke Strasdat +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a method for detecting and reconstructing environments to facilitate robotic interaction with such environments is described, where a 3D virtual environment representative of a physical environment of the robotic manipulator including a plurality of virtual objects corresponding to respective physical objects in the physical environment.

Object Pickup Strategies for a Robotic Device
Gary Bradski,Kurt Konolige,Ethan Rublee,Troy Straszheim,Hauke Strasdat,Stefan Hinterstoisser,Steve Croft,John Zevenbergen +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a robotic manipulator may identify characteristics of a physical object within a physical environment and then determine potential grasp points on the physical object corresponding to points at which a gripper attached to the robotic manipulators is operable to grip the object.
Patent
Methods and systems for distributing remote assistance to facilitate robotic object manipulation
TL;DR: In this paper, a priority queue of requests for remote assistance associated with the identified tasks may be determined based on expected times at which the robotic manipulator will perform the specified tasks, and at least one remote assistor device may then be requested, according to the priority queue, to provide remote assistance with those identified tasks.
