Object recognition
This is just the tip of the iceberg
•We’ve talked about using pixel color as a feature
•Many other features can be used:
–edges
–motion (e.g., optical flow)
–object size
–...
•Classical object recognition techniques recover 3D information as well
–given an image and a database of 3D models, determine which model(s) appears in that image
–often recover 3D pose of the object as well
–new work (e.g., Linda Shapiro’s group at UW), seeks to recognize 3D objects (meshes) by training on 3D scan data
