Abstract

In This paper, we introduce a new covariance based feature descriptor To be used on 'colored' point clouds gathered by a mobile robot equipped with an RGB-D camera. Although many recent descriptors provide adequate results, There is not yet a clear consensus on how To best Tackle 'colored' point clouds. We present The notion of a covariance on RGB-D data. Covariances have not only been proven To be successful in image processing, but in other domains as well. Their main advantage is That They provide a compact and flexible description of point clouds. Our work is a first step Towards demonstrating The usability of The concept of covariances in conjunction with RGB-D data. Experiments performed on an RGB-D database and compared To previous results show The increased performance of our method.
