• Abstract: Machine vision and image processing are often used with sensors for situation awareness in autonomous systems, from industrial robots to self-driving cars. The 3D depth sensors, such as LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), Radar, are great invention for autonomous systems. Due to the complexity of the setup, LiDAR may not be suitable for some operational environments, for example, a space environment. This study was motivated by a desire to get real-time volumetric and change information with multiple 2D cameras instead of a depth camera. Two cameras were used to measure the dimensions of a rectangular object in real-time. The R-C-P (row-column-pixel) method is developed using image processing and edge detection. In addition to the surface areas, the R-C-P method also detects discontinuous edges or volumes. Lastly, experimental work is presented for illustration of the R-C-P method, which provides the equations for calculating surface area dimensions. Using the equations with given distance information between the object and the camera, the vision system provides the dimensions of actual objects.

  Dense Object Nets (DONs) by Florence, Manuelli and Tedrake introduced dense object descriptors as a novel visual object representation for the robotics community. In this paper we show that given a 3D model of an object, we can generate its descriptor space image, which allows for supervised training of DONs. We compare the training methods on generating 6D grasps for industrial objects and show that our novel supervised training approach improves the pick-and-place performance in industry-relevant tasks.

  Existing methods tackle the problem in two steps: first depth estimation is performed, a pseudo LiDAR point cloud representation is computed from the depth estimates, and then object detection is performed in 3D space. We propose a model that unifies these two tasks in the same metric space. Our approach achieves state-of-the-art performance on the challenging KITTI benchmark, with significantly reduced inference time compared with existing methods.
