Welcome to RGB-D 2010!
This is a full-day workshop in conjunction with the Robotics Science and Systems (RSS) conference 2010. The workshop took place on Sunday, June 27, 2010, at the Universidad de Zaragoza, in Zaragoza, Spain.
Thank you everyone for contributing to the success of the workshop! It was a well-attended, inspiring workshop with many thought-provoking discussions. Presentation slides have been made available; please check out the program section below.
MOTIVATION
The last years have seen dramatic improvements in the capabilities of depth cameras (RGB-D), which provide per pixel RGB and Depth information (as in Microsoft Kinect). The combination of high-resolution depth and visual information opens up new challenges and opportunities for some of the most fundamental research areas in robotics, including 3D mapping and localization, object and activity recognition, people tracking, and object manipulation. Different research communities have made substantial progress in dealing with either 3D depth scans or camera images; it is time to leverage these advances and examine the combination of both.The goal of this workshop is to bring together some of the leading researchers from robotics, computer vision, and machine learning to present and discuss recent advances in 3D perception techniques developed by these communities. The key outcomes of the workshop will be a better understanding of, (1), the state of the art in 3D perception, (2), the possible applications of RGB-D cameras, and, (3), the key challenges and opportunities for research in this domain.
