asr_ros_pkgs is a software framework which impements the approach 'Active Scene Recognition (ASR)' and has been developed at the Chair of Prof. Dr.-Ing. R. Dillmann, Humanoids and Intelligence Systems Lab (HIS), Karlsruhe Institute of Techology (KIT), Germany. ASR is an approach for mobile robots to recognize scenes in distributed and cluttered indoor environments. It combines scene recognition and object search: Information about partially recognized scenes is used to guide the subsequent search for missing objects. In implementing ASR, asr_ros_pkgs provides both

The scene classifier can be used independently of ASR for what we call Passive Scene Recognition (PSR). As PSR, we define scene recognition with an immobile observer.

This project is of use for any researcher who intends to estimate the state of a robot's environment based on both the objects present in the environment and the 6-D spatial relations between the objects. Such estimates can be used for robotic decision-making, e.g., in the context of action planning.

As a starting point for
