- | Objects in a human environment are usually found in challenging scenes. They can be stacked upon eachother, touching or occluding, can be found in drawers, cupboards, refrigerators and so on. A personal robot assistant in order to execute a task, needs to detect these objects and recognize them. In this thesis a multi-modal approach to interpreting cluttered scenes is going to be investigated, | ||

The idea is so link external Web-knowledge to an existing knowledge framework in order to include situational awareness so that a robot acting in a household environment can infer what an object is used for in a given situation. | ||
