This paper presents a comparative study and survey of model-based object-recognition algorithms for robot vision. The goal of these algorithms is to recognize the identity, position, and orientation of randomly oriented industrial parts. In one form this is commonly referred to as the "bin-picking" problem, in which the parts to be recognized are presented in a jumbled bin. The paper is organized according to 2-D, 2½-D, and 3-D object representations, which are used as the basis for the recognition algorithms. Three central issues common to each category, namely, feature extraction, modeling, and matching, are examined in detail. An evaluation and comparison of existing industrial part-recognition systems and algorithms is given, providing insights for progress toward future robot vision systems.read more

A method for registration of 3-D shapes
Paul J. Besl,H.D. McKay +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a general-purpose representation-independent method for the accurate and computationally efficient registration of 3D shapes including free-form curves and surfaces, based on the iterative closest point (ICP) algorithm, which requires only a procedure to find the closest point on a geometric entity to a given point.

Comparing images using the Hausdorff distance
TL;DR: Efficient algorithms for computing the Hausdorff distance between all possible relative positions of a binary image and a model are presented and it is shown that the method extends naturally to the problem of comparing a portion of a model against an image.

Alignment by Maximization of Mutual Information
Paul A. Viola,William M. Wells +1 more
TL;DR: A new information-theoretic approach is presented for finding the pose of an object in an image that works well in domains where edge or gradient-magnitude based methods have difficulty, yet it is more robust than traditional correlation.

Evaluating Vision System Performance

TL;DR: In this article, a simple method is proposed for comparing the relative performance of machine vision systems designed for programmable automation, and some major performance criteria are the degree of discrimination between patterns and the execution time required to determine the identity, the state, and the position of workpieces.
