This module enables recognition and pose estimation of transparent objects. See the References for details of the algorithm.
The module is a part of the Recognition Kitchen so all you need to do is to install the Kitchen. See http://ecto.willowgarage.com/recognition/ for installation instructions.
For a sample how to use the algorithm see the sample/sample.cpp file. This sample is compiled into the bin directory. You can run it by passing the path to the sample directory as the command line parameter, for example:
./bin/sample ../or-transparent-objects/sample/
