Vision Targeted CAD Models

This project investigates vision features and their intelligent application on known CAD models for pose estimation. The advantage of combining CAD models and vision features lies in the known 3D geometry of the CAD model. Exemplary vision features are e.g. SIFT features, Randomized Trees, SURF features and other well known methods. The main goal is to use such an extended CAD model for pose estimation and for tracking initialization.
