Abstract

A method of recognizing an object includes comparing a three-dimensional point cloud of the object to a three-dimensional candidate from a dataset to determine a first confidence score, and comparing color metrics of a two-dimensional image of the object to a two-dimensional candidate from the dataset to determine a second confidence score. The point cloud includes a color appearance calibrated from a white balance image, and the color appearance of the object is compared with the three-dimensional candidate. The first or second confidence score is selected to determine which of the three-dimensional candidate or the two-dimensional candidate corresponds with the object.
