Object models are highly useful for robots as they enable tasks such as detection, pose estimation and manipulation. However, models are not always easily available, especially in real-world domains of operation such as peoples’ homes. This work presents a pipeline to generate high-quality object reconstructions from human in-hand manipulation to alleviate the necessity of specialised or expensive...
