Methods and apparatus for generating a dense field of three dimensional data for machine vision

Abstract:

The techniques described herein relate to methods, apparatus, and computer readable media configured to test a pose of a model in three-dimensional data. Three-dimensional data of an object is received, the three-dimensional data comprising a set of data entries. The three-dimensional data is converted to a field comprising a set of cells that each have an associated value, comprising determining, for each cell value, representative data based on one or more data entries from the set of data entries of the three-dimensional data. A pose of the model is tested with the field to determine a score for the pose.
