METHOD OF RECOGNIZING BODY PROXIMITY SPACE AND OBJECT FOR HUMANOID ROBOT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an object recognizing method using depth information for suppressing a task by focusing to a pattern. SOLUTION: The method is for producing a conspicuity map for a robot device provided with sensor means. The conspicuity map indicates a pattern which is important for performing the task and existing in an input space of the sensor means. The conspicuity map includes weighted contribution from parallax conspicuity selection to be performed based on the depth information collected from the sensor means, thereby a weighted priority is assigned to the pattern within a body proximity space defined in an environment of the sensor means.
