An active, appearance-based approach to the pose estimation of complex objects

Addresses the pose estimation problem for complex objects. Specifically, we investigate the feasibility of combining an active camera with a purely appearance-based approach to this problem. Experimental results are presented for the case of a single non-occluded object against a uniform background.
