While manipulating rigid objects is an extensively explored research topic, deformable linear object (DLO) manipulation seems significantly underdeveloped. A potential reason for this is the inherent difficulty in describing and observing the state of the DLO as its geometry changes during manipulation. This paper proposes an algorithm for fast-tracking the shape of a DLO based on the masked image...
