Abstract

This paper describes a method for recognizing partially occluded objects for bin-picking tasks using eigenspace analysis, referred to as the "eigen window" method, that stores multiple partial appearances of an object in an eigenspace. Such partial appearances require a large amount of memory space. Three measurements, detectability, uniqueness, and reliability, on windows are developed to eliminate redundant windows and thereby reduce memory requirements. Using a pose clustering technique, the method determines the pose of an object and the object type itself. We have implemented the method and verified its validity.
