Abstract | |||||||||||||||
| View based representations have become very popular for recognition tasks. In this contribution, we argue that the potential of the approach is not yet fully tapped: Tasks need not to be “homogeneous”, i.e. there is no need to restrict a system e.g. to either “object classification ” or “gesture recognition”. Instead, qualitatively different problems like gesture recognition and scene evaluation can be handled simultaneously by the same system. This feature makes the view based approach a well suited tool for robotics as will be demonstrated for the domain of an end-effector camera. In the described scenario, the task is threefold: Recognition of object types, judging the stability of grasps on objects and hand gesture classification. As this task leads to a large variety of views, a neural network–based recognition architecture specifically designed to represent very non-linear distributions of samples representing views will be described. 1 | |||||||||||||||
