Synopsis

This volume analyzes a specific problem in the field of active vision: how suitable is it to explicitly use 3D visual cues in a reactive visual task? The author has collected a set of studies on this subject and has used these experimental and theoretical developments to propose a synthetic view on the problem, completed by some specific experiments. The book aims to provide a complete set of methods, algorithms and experiments to introduce 3D visual cues in active visual perception mechanisms, for example autocalibration of visual sensors on robotic heads and mobile robots. It also provides analogies with biological visual systems to help simplify the introduction of this subject.

About this title

From the Back Cover

A Few Steps Towards 3D Active Vision describes several modules that can be used to perform 3D vision. A specific problem in the field of active vision is analyzed, namely how suitable is it to explicitly use 3D visual cues in a reactive visual task? The author has collected a set of studies on this subject and has used these experimental and theoretical developments to propose a synthetic view on the problem, completed by some specific experiments. With this book scientists and graduate students will have a complete set of methods, algorithms, and experiments to introduce 3D visual cues in active visual perception mechanisms such as autocalibration of visual sensors on robotic heads and mobile robots. Analogies with biological visual systems provide an easy introduction to this subject.
