Abstract:
This paper presents a method for constructing high fidelity geometrical models of objects in a point cloud scene with the goal of grasp planning and evaluation. We consider objects whose volume can be modeled as a solid of revolution which is extracted from the scene in a sample consensus framework. The approach also provides a natural strategy for segmenting object features such has cup-handles that are an exception to this shape assumption.
