Abstract
Our goal is to grasp 3D objects given a single image, by using prior 3D shape models of object classes. The shape models, defined as a collection of oriented primitive shapes centered at fixed 3D positions, can be learned from a few labeled images for each class. The 3D class model can then be used to estimate the 3D shape of a detected object, including occluded parts, from a single image. The estimated 3D shape is used as to select one of the target grasps for the object. We show that our 3D shape estimation is sufficiently accurate for a robot to successfully grasp the object, even in situations where the part to be grasped is not visible in the input image.
