From Multi-modal Property Dataset to Robot-centric Conceptual Knowledge About Household Objects

no code implementations26 Jun 2019 Madhura Thosar, Christian A. Mueller, Georg Jaeger, Johannes Schleiss, Narender Pulugu, Ravi Mallikarjun Chennaboina, Sai Vivek Jeevangekar, Andreas Birk, Max Pfingsthorn, Sebastian Zug

However, due to different sensing and acting capabilities of robots, their conceptual understanding of objects must be generated from a robot's perspective entirely, which asks for robot-centric conceptual knowledge about objects.

Unsupervised Learning of Shape Concepts - From Real-World Objects to Mental Simulation

no code implementations20 Nov 2018 Christian A. Mueller, Andreas Birk

Experiments show that extracted persistent commonality groups can feature semantically meaningful shape concepts; the generalization of the proposed approach is evaluated by different real-world datasets.

Robust Gesture-Based Communication for Underwater Human-Robot Interaction in the context of Search and Rescue Diver Missions

no code implementations16 Oct 2018 Arturo Gomez Chavez, Christian A. Mueller, Tobias Doernbach, Davide Chiarella, Andreas Birk

We propose a robust gesture-based communication pipeline for divers to instruct an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) to assist them in performing high-risk tasks and helping in case of emergency.

CADDY Underwater Stereo-Vision Dataset for Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) in the Context of Diver Activities

no code implementations12 Jul 2018 Arturo Gomez Chavez, Andrea Ranieri, Davide Chiarella, Enrica Zereik, Anja Babić, Andreas Birk

In this article we present a novel underwater dataset collected from several field trials within the EU FP7 project "Cognitive autonomous diving buddy (CADDY)", where an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) was used to interact with divers and monitor their activities.

Underwater Image Haze Removal and Color Correction with an Underwater-ready Dark Channel Prior

no code implementations11 Jul 2018 Tomasz Łuczyński, Andreas Birk

On the other hand there is a well known method for haze removal in air, called Dark Channel Prior.

Visual Object Categorization Based on Hierarchical Shape Motifs Learned From Noisy Point Cloud Decompositions

no code implementations3 Apr 2018 Christian A. Mueller, Andreas Birk

Therein surface description and representation of object shape structure have significant influence on shape categorization accuracy, when dealing with real-world scenes featuring noisy, partial and occluded object observations.

Conceptualization of Object Compositions Using Persistent Homology

no code implementations6 Mar 2018 Christian A. Mueller, Andreas Birk

Inspired by Persistent Homology, hidden groups of shape commonalities are revealed from object segment decompositions.

Physics-Based Damage-Aware Manipulation Strategy Planning Using Scene Dynamics Anticipation

2 code implementations2 Mar 2016 Tobias Fromm, Andreas Birk

We present a damage-aware planning approach which determines the best sequence to manipulate a number of objects in a scene.
