RGB-D 2015 - Special Session on Perception: Recent Developments and Applications

Combining the strengths of optical cameras and laser rangefinders, the joint use of color and depth information in RGB-D perception enables to overcome a number of problems encountered by classical computer vision, making visual perception more robust and efficient. Therefore, the emergence of low-cost sensors (currently available for all kinds of platforms, including mobile phones, tablets etc.) resulted in a sudden increase of interest and progress in this field, enabling a variety of perception-based research and applications, spanning from recognition of everyday objects, robot navigation, human-machine interaction to augmented reality. The main goal of this session is to bring together the theorists and practitioners to present and discuss the recent advances in this field.
