Method, System, And Computer Program For Recognizing Position And Posture Of Object - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18323491 titled 'Method, System, And Computer Program For Recognizing Position And Posture Of Object

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for generating an object image using a camera and estimating the depths of the object in the image.

  • The method involves capturing an image of the object with a camera.
  • Estimated depths of the object are determined using a depth estimator that takes the object image as input and outputs the estimated depths.
  • An identifier is used to determine whether the estimated depths are usable, based on the object image or an object image feature quantity extracted from the object image.
  • If the estimated depths are usable, the position and posture of the object are recognized using the estimated depths and the object image.
  • If the estimated depths are unusable, measured depths of the object are determined using a depth sensor.
  • The position and posture of the object are then recognized using the measured depths and the object image.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes generating an object image by capturing an image of the object with a camera, determining estimated depths of the object by using a depth estimator that receives the object image as input and outputs the estimated depths in the object image, determining whether the estimated depths are useable by using an identifier that receives at least one of the object image and an object image feature quantity extracted from the object image as input, when the estimated depths are usable, recognizing the position and posture of the object by using the estimated depths and the object image, and when the estimated depths are unusable, determining measured depths of the object with a depth sensor and recognizing the position and posture of the object by using the measured depths and the object image.
