Abstract

Our aim is to develop a vision system for teleoperation to localize an object. This system has to be used through Internet connection. The recognition problem addressed in this paper is to localize a 3D free-form object from a single 2D view of 3D scene. Using a skeletonization process allows to obtain two graphs, the first one representing an object in the scene (2D skeleton) and the second one representing a database object (3D homotopic skeleton). The method encodes geometric and topological information in the form of a skeletal graph and uses graph isomorphism techniques to match the skeletons and find the one-toone correspondences of nodes in order to estimate the object’s pose. Knowing skeleton is a set of lines centred within the 3D/2D objects, our method transforms the problem of free form object localization into points and lines pose estimation. Some experimental results on real images demonstrate the robustness of the proposed method with regard to occlusion, cluster and shadows.
