Chapter 16: Sensors and Perception – 3D Vision and Object Recognition
Abstract: 3D vision and object recognition allow machines to understand and interact with their environment by perceiving and recognizing objects in three dimensions, including their shape, size, position, and orientation , which is a significant advancement over traditional 2D vision systems. Here's a more detailed explanation: What is 3D Vision? Beyond 2D: Unlike 2D vision systems that only capture flat images, 3D vision systems can reconstruct the spatial layout of objects, providing a more complete understanding of the world. Depth Perception: 3D vision systems use techniques like stereo vision (capturing images from two slightly offset viewpoints) or time-of-flight (ToF) sensors to perceive depth and reconstruct the 3D structure of objects. Applications: 3D vision is crucial for robotics, self-driving cars, virtual reality, and other applications where understanding the spatial relationships between objects is essential. What is 3D Obje...
