Active recognition through next view planning: a survey
3-D object recognition involves using image-computable features to identify 3-D object. A single view of a 3-D object may not contain sufficient features to recognize it unambiguously. One needs to plan different views around the given object in order to recognize it. Such a task involves an active sensorone whose parameters (external and/or internal) can be changed in a purposive manner. In this paper, we review two important applications of an active sensor. We first survey important approaches to active 3-D object recognition. Next, we review existing approaches towards another important application of an active sensor namely, that of scene analysis and interpretation.
