A scene analysis module for service robots is presented which uses SIFT in a stereo setting, a systematic handling of uncertainties and an active perception component. The system is integrated and evaluated on the DESIRE two-arm mobile robot. Complex everyday scenes composed of various items from a 100-object database are analyzed successfully and efficiently.

Improving object orientation estimates by considering multiple viewpoints
TLDR
A histogram filter variant that uses the exploration capabilities of robots, and supports active perception through a next-best-view proposal algorithm, and a histogram-based fusion method that focuses on the orientation of the 6 degrees of freedom (DoF) pose.

Bayesian Orientation Estimation and Local Surface Informativeness for Active Object Pose Estimation
TLDR
The accuracy of the orientation estimation using the proposed method is not yet comparable to state-of-the-art algorithms in the general case of unrestricted viewing directions, but the evaluation of view and surface part informativeness gives plausible and promising results for building effective view planning criteria.
