Algorithms for recognition, tracking, and pose estimation of 3-d objects in intensity imagery commonly assume that features are the result of imaging surface landmarks. This assumption is most commonly violated when a feature is detected on an occluding boundary generated by a smoothly curving surface. We have developed a method that can recognize, track, and determine the pose of arbitrarily shaped, partially visible 3-d objects in both intensity and range imagery. We describe the results of tests on real intensity imagery and synthetic range imagery. |
