چکیده

This paper presents a novel, agent-based sensing-system reconfiguration methodology for the recognition of time-varying-geometry targets (objects or subjects). A multi-camera activevision system is used to improve form-recognition performance by selecting near-optimal viewpoints along a prediction time horizon. The proposed method seeks to maximize the target visibility in a cluttered, dynamic environment. Simulated experiments clearly show a tangible potential performance gain.

A Reconfigurable Multi-Camera Active-Vision System for Object Recognition via Shape-from-Shading

The active surveillance of manoeuvring targets with multiple dynamic cameras requires an effective planning methodology to dynamically select and position the groups of cameras for optimal performance. This paper presents such a methodology for the real-time reconfiguration of a multicamera active-vision system for the recognition of dynamic objects in the presence of multiple static and/or mob...

Ball Trajectory Estimation and Robot Control to Reach the Ball Using Single Camera

In robotics research, catching a projectile object with a robotic system is one of the challenging problems. The outcome of these researches can be used in a wide range of applications such as video surveillance systems, analysis of sports videos, monitoring programs for human activities, and human-machine interactions. In this paper, we propose a new vision-based algorithm to estimate the traj...

Towards Active Exploration of Static and Dynamic Scene Geometry

In this paper we describe the use of a steerable camera and active vision system in the real-time recovery of trajectories of objects moving on a planar surface in the scene. The system first selfcalibrates the transformation from camera platform joint angles to scene plane coordinates by active observation of static scene geometry which has been stored as a model. The transformation is encoded...

A Stochastic Quality Metric for Optimal Control of Active Camera Network Configurations for 3D Computer Vision Tasks

We present a stochastic state-space quality metric for use in controlling active camera networks aimed at 3D vision tasks such as surveillance, motion tracking, and 3D shape/appearance reconstruction. Specifically, the metric provides an estimate of the aggregate steady-state uncertainty of the 3D resolution of the objects of interest, as a function of camera parameters such as pan, tilt, and z...
