Jacobs Robotics object recognition and localization at ICRA 2011 "Solutions in Perception Challenge"

The video gives a short illustrative example of the performance of the Jacobs Robotics object recognition and localization software used in the Willow Garage / NIST "Solutions in Perception" challenge at the IEEE 2011 International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) in Shanghai, China.

The software does _not_ use the calibration checker-board which can be seen in the example scene or the table-top for segmentation of the objects, i.e., for the separation of background from "interesting" data. The recognition of the objects is based on a single snapshot from a Kinect.

Details about the method will be published hopefully soon; further infos will then be added here.

What method did you'll use to integrate the RGB and IR values from the Kinect?
