Hello Brian,<div>Sorry for the delay. We were expecting additional information about the challenge but they still didn't publish more information and we are running out of time. Here is the brief summary of the goal:</div>
<div>============================================================</div><div><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255)"><p style="margin-top:0px;line-height:12px;text-align:justify">
Scenes will be of increasing difficulty where contestants will have to identify:</p><ol style="margin-top:0px;line-height:12px;text-align:justify"><li>Single objects and their pose.</li><li>Multiple objects with occlusion.</li>
<li>Multiple objects and their pose with occlusion.</li></ol><p style="margin-top:0px;line-height:12px;text-align:justify">Contestants can use any 2D or 3D sensor(s) that they want, they can use any computing equipment that they want including communicating with external "cloud computing". Some objects to be learned for the contest will be made known prior to the competition, the others (the majority) will have to be learned at the conference prior to the competition day.</p>
