Object Recognition with Imperfect Perception and Redundant Description
This paper deals with a scene recognition system in a robotics context. The general problem is to match images with a priori descriptions. A typical mission would consist in identifying an object in an installation with a vision system situated at the end of a manipulator and with a human operator provided description, formulated in a pseudonatural language, and possibly redundant. The originality of this work comes from the nature of the description, from the special attention given to the management of imprecision and uncertainty in the interpretation process and from the way to assess the description redundancy so as to reinforce the overall matching likelihood.
