Synopsis

This volume presents the proceedings of the 2nd International Workshop on - gebraic Frames for the Perception and Action Cycle. AFPAC 2000. held in Kiel, Germany, 10-11 September 2000. The presented topics cover new results in the conceptualization, design, and implementation of visual sensor-based robotics and autonomous systems. Special emphasis is placed on the role of algebraic modelling in the relevant disciplines, such as robotics, computer vision, theory of multidimensional signals, and neural computation. The aims of the workshop are twofold: ?rst, discussion of the impact of algebraic embedding of the task at hand on the emergence of new qualities of modelling and second, facing the strong relations between dominant geometric problems and algebraic modelling. The ?rst workshop in this series, AFPAC'97. inspired several groups to i- tiate new research programs, or to intensify ongoing research work in this ?eld, and the range of relevant topics was consequently broadened, The approach adopted by this workshop does not necessarily ?t the mainstream of worldwide research-granting policy. However, its search for fundamental problems in our ?eld may very well lead to new results in the relevant disciplines and contribute to their integration in studies of the perception-action cycle.

Synopsis:

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Algebraic Frames for the Perception-Action Cycle, AFPAC 2000, held in Kiel, Germany in September 2000.The 20 regular papers presented together with seven invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. Among the topics addressed are action representation analysis, perception-action structure, colorimetry, motion modeling, spatio-temporal structures, geometric transformations, Clifford algebras, geometric algebra, illumination changes, contact modeling, wavelets, adaptive system behaviour, kinematics, hyperharmonic signal analysis, motion estimation, geodesic conturs, etc.
