چکیده

Decomposing sensory measurements into coherent parts is a fundamental prerequisite for scene understanding that is required for solving complex tasks, e.g., in the field of mobile manipulation. In this article, we describe methods for efficient segmentation of range images and organized point clouds. In order to achieve real-time performance in complex environments, we focus our approach on simple but robust solutions. We present a fast approach to surface reconstruction in range images and organized point clouds by means of approximate polygonal meshing. The obtained local surface information and neighborhoods are then used to 1) smooth the underlying measurements, and 2) segment the image into planar regions and other geometric primitives. A comparative evaluation using publicly available data sets shows that our approach achieves state-of-the-art performance while being significantly faster than other methods.

A New Distributed Approach for Range Image Segmentation

In this paper we introduce a new distributed approach for image segmentation based on multi-agent systems. Several agents are placed randomly in the image, then each of them starts a region growing around its position. Several agents can be within the same homogeneous region. So, they must exchange information to better labeling pixels reached by these agents. Every labeled pixel is smoothed by...
