Abstract. It is generally accepted that to develop versatile bin-picking systems capable of grasping and manipulation operations, accurate 3-D information is required. To accomplish this goal, we have developed a fast and precise range sensor based on active depth from defocus (DFD). This sensor is used in conjunction with a three-component vision system, which is able to recognize and evaluate the attitude of 3-D objects. The first component performs scene segmentation using an edge-based approach. Since edges are used to detect the object boundaries, a key issue consists...
