It can leverage the mobility of robotic platforms to capture additional viewpoints about an object as single images are not always sufficient especially if objects appear in cluttered human environments. Active vision algorithms should reduce the number of viewpoints required to recognise an object and hence reduce the computational time as well. This paper compares two active object recognition systems. Both systems use SIFT features for object recognition, but use contrasting models, update and viewpoint selection strategies. The methods for integrating information across views used by the two systems are investigated. This is essential as this module is used to select the next best viewpoint. The number of viewpoints and the time taken to recognise objects are used to compare the performance of these two methods.en3D object recognition algorithmsActive visionRobotic platformsObject recognitionSingle imagesCluttered human environmentsActive vision algorithmsSIFTConference PresentationKeaikitse, M., Govender, N., & Warrell, J.
