Their work suggests various ways in which robots can use built-in 2D or 3D cameras to correctly recognise and pinpoint transparent or shiny objects. While transparent objects are common in our everyday surroundings, their visual perception by autonomous systems is one of the most difficult unresolved problems there is. The team from H-BRS in Sankt Augustin has developed methods for evaluating measurement points with unknown depth information.
