Claim 0:
1. A method for picking up an object from a group of objects, said method comprising:
obtaining an image of the objects using a camera;
generating a segmentation image of the objects by performing an image segmentation process that includes using neural networks to extract features from the image to provide an extracted features image, identifying x and y coordinates of pixels in the extracted features image and identifying an orientation of the objects in the extracted features image, wherein generating a segmentation image includes identifying a center pixel of each object;
identifying a location for picking up the object using the segmentation image, wherein identifying a location for picking up the object includes identifying the center pixel of one of the objects in the segmentation image and calculating x-y-z coordinates of the center pixel using the location of that center pixel and a depth map image; and
rotating the object using the orientation of the object in the segmentation image.
