A Binocular, Foveated Active Vision System
نویسنده
چکیده
This report documents the design and implementation of a binocular, foveated active vision system as part of the Cog project at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. The active vision system features a 3 degree of freedom mechanical platform that supports four color cameras, a motion control system, and a parallel network of digital signal processors for image processing. To demonstrate the capabilities of the system, we present results from four sample visual-motor tasks. The author receives support from a National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate Fellowship. Support for this project is provided in part by an ONR/ARPA Vision MURI Grant (No. N00014-95-1-0600). Report Documentation Page Form Approved

A surveillance system combining peripheral and foveated motion tracking
In this paper we describe a surveillance system made up of a fixed camera and a binocular active vision system. The fixed camera is used to provide the system with peripheral motion detection capabilities. The binocular active system is used to track in 3D and reconstruct the trajectories of specific targets. Both are fully integrated and the redundancy is exploited to achieve a higher degree o...
متن کاملA Binocular Stereo Algorithm for Log-Polar Foveated Systems
Foveation and stereopsis are important features on active vision systems. The former provides a wide field of view and high foveal resolution with low amounts of data, while the latter contributes to the acquisition of close range depth cues. The log-polar sampling has been proposed as an approximation to the foveated representation of the primate visual system. Although the huge amount of ster...

متن کاملA Fast Foveated Stereo Matcher
A stereo-matcher is required to form part of an active vision system currently under construction. Previous approaches to accomplishing the task of computing binocular disparity quickly have included the use of dedicated hardware and a tradeo of speed against pixel resolution. A software-based stereo-matcher is reported which produces results quickly whilst retaining sub-pixel accuracy. The pro...
متن کاملRobust real-time tracking on an active vision head
Achieving the rst step of a framework for humanrobot interaction, we have designed a binocular tracking system which uses disparity and velocity information for the detection and pursuit of moving objects in cluttered environments without a-priori knowledge of the target shape or texture. The implemented system robustly tracks in real-time deformable objects such as human hands and faces, takin...
