  abstract          = {This paper describes a mapping system that
  acquires 3D object models of man-made indoor environments such as
  kitchens. The system segments and geometrically reconstructs cabinets
  with doors, tables, drawers, and shelves, objects that are important
  for robots retrieving and manipulating objects in these environments.
  The system also acquires models of objects of daily use such glasses,
  plates, and ingredients. The models enable the recognition of the
  objects in cluttered scenes and the classification of newly
  encountered objects.

  Key technical contributions include (1)~a robust, accurate, and
  efficient algorithm for constructing complete object models from 3D
  point clouds constituting partial object views, (2)~feature-based
  recognition procedures for cabinets, tables, and other task-relevant
  furniture objects, and (3)~automatic inference of object instance and
  class signatures for objects of daily use that enable robots to reliably
  recognize the objects in cluttered and real task contexts. We present
  results from the sensor-based mapping of a real kitchen.},
