Object persistence under correlated RGB-D misses

When a robot’s depth camera misses an object several frames in a row, should it conclude the object is gone? A controlled comparison of how Bayesian persistence filters should count repeated misses.

About

I work on how people and machines perceive.

I'm Ahbab, an electrical engineering student at New York University. My work spans wearable hardware, VR, and robot perception, and I'm working toward graduate study in HCI.

I grew up in Chittagong, Bangladesh, and take photos and make Blender renders when I'm not in the lab. Some are on my portfolio.
