Abstract

Recognizing objects in a scene is a fundamental task in image understanding. The recent advances in robotics and related technologies have placed more challenges and stricter requirements to this issue. In such applications, robots must be equipped with a sense of location and direction with a view to the efficient accomplishment of navigation or demanding pick and place tasks. In addition, spatial information is required in surveillance processes where recognized targets are located in the working space of the robot. Furthermore, accurate perception of depth is mandatory in driver assistance applications. This chapter presents several recently proposed methods capable of first recognizing objects and then providing their spatial information in cluttered environments.
