This study presents a method for estimating the three-dimensional (3D) shapes of transparent objects from an RGB-D image using a statistical shape model. Statistical shape models compress the dimensions of multiple shapes to represent shape variations using fewer parameters. It is difficult to measure the depth of a transparent object using sensors. Therefore, the statistical shape model is deform...
