Abstract:
This paper addresses the problem of determining which 3D
shape is present, and more importantly, the dimensions of
the shape in a scene. This is performed in an active vision
system because it reduces the complexity of the problem
through the use of gaze stabilisation, choice of foveation
point and selective processing by adaptively processing regions
of interest. In our case only a small number of equations
and parameters are needed for each shape. For example,
a container has width and height. These are incorporated
into functional descriptions of the shapes.
