- | 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, | + | |
