Pose from color

Color is a powerful cue for determining the pose of 3D objects viewed by a single camera. We present a method based on hue histograms for locating multiple objects with respect to a fixed camera. The algorithm is tested on controlled blocks-world scenes and an indoor office scene. On these examples, a pose refinement algorithm performs better when guided by color than when guided by more traditional edge information.
