Computation of Shape Through Controlled Active Exploration

چکیده
Accurate knowledge of depth continues to be of critical importance in robotic systems. Without accurate depth knowledge, tasks such as inspection, tracking, grasping, and collision-free motion planning prove to be difficult and often unattainable. Traditional visual depth recovery has relied upon techniques that require the solution of the correspondence problem or require known lighting conditions and Lambertian surfaces. In this paper, we present a technique for the derivation of depth from feature points on a target’s surface using the Controlled Active Vision framework. We use a single visual sensor mounted on the end-effector of a robotic manipulator to automatically select feature points and to derive depth estimates for those features using adaptive control techniques. Movements of the manipulator produce displacements that are measured using a Sum-of-Squared Difference (SSD) optical flow. The measured displacements are fed into the controller to alter the path of the manipulator and to refine the depth estimate.

متن کاملActive, passive and snapshot exploration in a virtual environment: influence on scene memory, reorientation and path memory.
We investigated the importance of active, passive and snapshot exploration on spatial memory in a virtual city. The exploration consisted in traveling along a series of streets. 'Active exploration' was performed by giving directions to the subject who controlled his displacement with a joystick. During 'passive' exploration, the travel was imposed by the computer. Finally, during 'snapshot exp...
متن کاملAn Overview of Passive Vision Techniques
This section surveys passive optical techniques for recovering scene shape and reflectance characteristics from images. The objective is to acquire images of a scene observed from different viewpoints and possibly different illuminations, and from these images to compute scene shape and reflectance at every surface point. Given estimates of shape we can fabricate duplicate 3D models using techn...

In this work, studies of underground gas storage (UGS) were performed on a partially depleted, naturally fractured gas reservoir through compositional simulation. Reservoir dynamic model was calibrated by history matching of about 20 years of researvoir production. Effects of fracture parameters, i.e. fracture shape factor, fracture permeability and porosity were studied. Results show...
